Curious locking problem

I've had a strange thing happen recently when I lock an object (so I don't accidentally delete it), but then can't unlock it again.

I've tested this out as follows:

1. Rezz a cube on my own land.
2. Edit it and set it to locked.
3. Now, as expected, I can't accidentally take it or delete it - I'm warned first. However, I *can* edit it and untick the "locked" box *usually*.

However, a few days ago, it didn't happen like this, and it's happening again tonight. The object is locked (I get warned if I try to delete it or take it), but I can't edit it - not even to untick the "unlock" box. It's all greyed out.

Any ideas?

Check if Tools>Select Only Movable Objects has been turned on. That will cause that behavior with locked stuff. I do that on purpose and then forget when I want to edit.

Yay!! That was it :)

Many thanks, Cerise - it was driving me mad!
