If your teacher starts clicking on each icon and this popup turns up to tell you the proper shortcut to unlock it, then what is the point of the lock feature (other than setting a password)?
Remember the lock feature comes from two old features, Boss Protection (which hide all windows, but didn't locked anything) and Messenger Lock (which locked messenger with a password, but didn't hide anything).
The new Lock Messenger feature combined these two. When the user will be presented with such dialog box popping up again, you actually revert back to how it was in Plus!3: simply hiding the window of Messenger, but otherwise plain visible to the teacher to what he must do to catch the pupil in the act.
I am happy because I didn't mean what you worry about Cookie

I think you remember wrong, simply because I don't know how Messenger can be locked while its all windows are still there. I remember it was hiding the widnows as well as requiring a password to unlock.
