Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-09-26 19:47:09 UTC 
The 'Position and Size' dialog has 2 checkboxes under the heading 'Protect' - position and size - which lock the size or position of an object, and i think is useful to have this in the context menu. This suggestion was primarily targetted as impress and draw, but calc and writer may also benefit from this as well.
Comment 1 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-09-27 05:27:18 UTC 
A third item that should be included is aspect ratio, which in the dialog is labeled 'keep ratio'.
Comment 2 Buovjaga 2020-09-21 17:36:04 UTC 
I think this needs to be re-evaluated
Comment 3 Thomas Lendo QA 2020-09-21 18:55:13 UTC 
Adding A. Kainz to CC as he has experience in context menu changes.

As this kind of stuff is only available in the Position and Size dialog, I don't see an big with to have this checkboxes in the context menu.

As you can use Strg to fix the aspect ratio which is very common (inkscape, ...) I would say close this bug as wfm.
Comment 5 Heiko Tietze 2020-09-22 08:31:51 UTC 
Besides the aspect ratio, where I agree, this is about having Protect Position and Protect Size in the context menu. Don't find the two properties in the customization so we need UNO commands.
