Open declaration of script file does not lock design element

When using "Open Declaration"/Ctrl click on a "Use "my_script_name"" within a script file, it opens the file but does not lock the design element. The element can edited and saved using Ctrl-S while another developer has locked the file.

    This idea should rather be called like "Make design elements also use the existing locking technique like documents"

    This is already implemented. In the database properties, in addition to the "Allow document locking" option, there is also the "Allow design locking" option.


    Unfortunately, design elements are only locked when opened from Applications Navigator or Design element list. If a LotusScript library is opened by F3 (or Ctrl+click) on a function or library name from the LotusScript editor, the library is opened but not locked. This is a bug, and it has been around since the beginning of Eclipse Designer until the current version 12.0.2.

    Design elements do use locking like documents, but there's a bug where they do not lock when opened in other ways. When opened via the tree or list view all is well.
