Description
Every so often while trying to copy text from an existing sticky note, or accidentally moving the mouse coursor while typing in a nearby xterm, I would accidentally write over the content of an existing sticky note. It would be extremely helpful to add a "lock" button say on the top of the menu bar of each sticky note. Obviously the lock should be enforced on a note-by-note basis, and not globally.
Many thanks for your consideration!

Research direction
Start by locating the sticky note UI and its menu bar, then trace how each note accepts text edits and mouse movement. Define the lock control per note, preserving existing content while locked and allowing editing again when unlocked; verify the behavior for copying text and typing near an existing note.
