One annoying behavior in Fences Pro

from Stardock Forums

I keep most of my destop icons hidden in Fences Pro.  In that state, if my mouse hand slips and the icon moves  the slightest amount as I'm clicking on it, it's almost invariably no longer part of the Fence it was in.  That's really darn annoying.   When this occurs, I have to show all and shove the icon back in, which is sometimes easy and sometimes not, depending on the size of the Fence.   Shouldn't there be a setting that prevents icons being removed from a Fence unless it's in "show all" mode - or is there?

I 1000000% agree. 

 

 

 I have had this happen many times. Also last month I accidentally deleted nearly 4 gb of some of my most important files when I highlighted a few icons on my desktop and unknowingly also highlighted some icons in a Fence that was "hidden". 

 

 There should be a way to lock the icons from accidentally moving them from the fence. If there is already a way to do this, please tell me how. 

I will never be able to replace those important files, but I would at least like to have confidence I wont make the same mistake again.
