first of all you should not set locked property directly (internal) but make the api call
update(widget, {locked:true})as there is more to it than setting the flag.second, locked = noMove (user) + noSize (user) + can't be moved by collision constrain by another widget by design. that is the expected behavior.

Thank you for the information. I will use the update function. However I am still confused on the expected behavior of a 'locked' widget. According to the API:
so shouldnt a locked widget be able to be moved/resized by the user?

More generally, how would I acheieve the behaviour of preventing the widget from being moved by the move/resize of other widgets?

I stand corrected. in v0.5 (the furthers I went back that I worked on)
lockedcan still be dragged by the user.this broke in v1.1.1 (ok in v1.1.0) as I assumed locked meant no move by user either.
not sure what the use case is for... weird that items will not get pushed out but user can still manually do it.
`locked` item can be moved/resized
`locked` item can be moved/resized
