After deleting a collection, the “Collection” field on each item that was in the collection is left in a locked state.
Steps:
-
Select one or more items and add to a new collection (using the ‘Add to Collection’ command from the menu).
-
View the properties of the items in the collection. Note that the collection name has been created, and the lock is disengaged.
-
Delete the collection by selecting the ‘Delete’ command from the Collection’s action menu.

-
View the properties of the items that had been in the collection. Note that the Collection field is empty, but the lock is now engaged.
This behavior is repeatable in different browsers, and on Windows or Linux clients.
This won’t be problematic for most people, but it is certainly an incorrect behavior.
