Locked objects won't show "Object Properties.." in their context menu

Steps to reproduce:

  • create an object
  • right click -> "object properties.."
  • select "lock" -> click "set"
  • object is now locked
  • right click on the object again

What happened?

  • there is no "object properties" anymore in the menu
  • in 1.0+ there is a "Unlock objects below" that can be used to unlock and then click on "object properties", but that would, well, unlock the objects.

What should have happened?

  • "Object Properties" should stay available also for locked objects, as it gives access to stuff that can be useful also for those locked objects
