SP2 disallows locking/unlocking segments when Track Changes are ON

Jesse Good

I've already logged this with SDL Support, but wanted to bring it up here.

Basically, Trados SP2 has a new *feature* which disables locking/unlocking segments when Track Changes are enabled.

I believe before you would get an error message when you tried locking a segment that included Track Changes,

so perhaps the developers thought this was an improvement to prevent errors.

However, if you need to lock/unlock segments and also make Track Changes in the same file,

you have to turn Track Changes ON/OFF multiple times which is tedious.

A better solution would be to disable locking segments only when there are track changes in the segment regardless of whether Track Changes are ON or OFF.

Anyways, my two cents.

    I must confirm this ugly behavior even after CU8 - and this is a bug and not a feature, believe me! I have created a project, used PerfectMatch on that and locked the segments. Now the customer requests changes to the PM segments (he does not even know about PM, and the pretranslated files were not all mine, but this is a different part of the story). So I've opened for Sign-off to make sure, the autopropagation will work (as in other scenarios it will not overwrite Context Matches or reviewed segments) and now can't simply unlock segments, but need to toggle the track changes off. Why?
    Kind regards, Jerzy
