Default "Lock Item" should, well... eh... lock item

In the action list, there are three actions for locking/unlocking an item:
* Lock selected item(s)
* Unlock selected item(s)
* Toggle lock for selected item(s)

That clicking the item lock icon runs the "Toggle" action is fine. However, the item right-click menu Item Settings > Lock Item also runs the "Toggle" action. Really it should do what its name says, lock the selected items.

When I have several tracks selected, some of which may already be locked, I expect a menu option named "Lock Item" to actually lock an item irrespective of its previous lock state; after the action all items should be locked.

Either that, or the option should be renamed "Toggle item(s) lock", so it is obvious what it does.

EDIT: Strange. The lock icon does not toggle. If I have selected several items with different locking status, only the items that have the same locking status as the one for which I click the lock icon is affected. So if I click the lock icon for a locked item, all items will be unlocked and vice versa. Hmm... maybe that is a good thing...
