Bug Description

* Create a PCB with a footprint that has only RefDes and Value (without %R on F.Fab)
* Lock the footprint
* Try to edit, select, or unlock this footprint - you can't.

Workaround: edit PCB file on disk and remove "locked".

Attached example minimal PCB - Try to edit the only part on that board.
