Default How to protect a cell from editing

Did this years ago and am struggling getting it to work. I have gone to review and protect sheet. All cells are locked and hidden by default. I have un checked certain cells.

The problem is that previously i could not click the mouse in cells that were protected. Now I can click inside them but not change them. Is this a new feature that you can click into a protected cell.



SOLVED: remove tick from select locked cells and leave a tick on select un-locked cells.

Confused as to why you would have the second one. Un-ticking both would deny access to any cell.
