[Gimp-user] Locking layers won't work.

[new2gimp2017 <forums gimpusers com>]

I'm new to gimp. No matter how many times I try...the lock pixels and lock alpha
channels options will not work.

I would like layers completely locked so as to not accidentally move them. I am
a veteran photoshop user and this is a very easy thing to do...but for the life
of me I can't get gimp to lock down anything. I have seen tutorials and read
articles and I'm doing exactly what it says but can still select and move layers
even though I chose to lock them.

Any ideas on what's going on would be helpful. Thank you
