Actually, I have found this 'feature' very useful. I have used it many
times, especially when working with badly planned paper space layouts. Now,
to move everything out of the way of a new title block, and back, I just
Quick Select-multiple-select all. This way, I'm sure all drawings are
oriented correctly in their respective layouts, and I don't have to worry
about artifacts from frozen layers being out of place.
Personally, I hope this 'feature' does not get fixed- I've saved countless
hours not having to thaw and refreeze layers to fix legacy drawings-
especially important when you have 100+ layers in a file worked on by
multiple people.
It's always better to have many ways of doing different things, rather than
many ways to do one. You can already move everything visible by selecting
it, and move everything visible and 'OFF' when invoking a command by
selecting "all."
