The timline and locator positioning behavior has slighly changed in 8.5.
Previously, an accidental click unset the users locators.
Now a single accidental click in the upper part of the timeline does not reposition the locators anymore.
In the future you should not experience this accidental change of locators anymore.
I hope this eliminates or at least lowers the need for this [FR] ‘Lock Locators’.
One thing regarding changed functionality though:
I checked the manual for 8.5 (haven’t activated it yet so I can’t try it yet), and I noticed that the function to now seems to be gone. You can move it but not draw it. That’s also why accidental reposition of locators does not occur anymore.
Instead of removing that functionality completely, it could be reintroduced if using together with a modifier key. I think is still freely available.
So by using you would still be able to draw a locator range (which would move the locators), and at the same time you would still not have the accidental moving of locators when not using .
