Hi everyone. I've been using Krita for a while now, but I've stuck with 2.9.9 because of various issues that I have had with the newer versions. The most persistent issue between all of the new releases for me has been an interesting change to how the move tool works now.

The new move tool, when used on an unlocked group layer, will not move locked layers within that unlocked group. The older move tool would move everything within the group regardless. I'm assuming this was an intentional change, so I would like to ask if you could possibly add the older functionality that the old move tool had back as an option. I fiddled with all of the options as seen in the video, but they made no difference to what I was doing in either version. I was hoping that "Move the whole group" would have made the change I wanted, but sadly that wasn't the case. So I would like to suggest maybe adding a new option along the lines of "Move locked layers within group layers."

I personally prefer how the old move tool worked, so much so that I don't think I can get used to the new one. This is for 2 main reasons.
1. It saves a lot of time being able to just move all of those layers, and not having to individually unlock them every time I want to move them all.
2. Sometimes I will hide and lock a layer temporarily, then later on down the line move the group while that layer is still locked and hidden. Honestly, I've even managed to not notice I've done this even when the layer isn't hidden. So, with how the new move tool works, this can obviously lead to some pretty nasty problems.

I have a video for clarification on what I am talking about. It compares 2.9.9 with 3.3.1.

I've searched all over for this issue, but came up empty so I decided to post here. If this is a known bug, or if I have missed some crucial information on how to get this behavior back, I apologize. If not, I'm hoping you'll take my idea into consideration.

(Also, I don't remember how I got to this section of the forum, but it looks like the right place to post this sort of topic, I hope. I can't seem to find this part from the index.)
