Can't Delete/Move Icons From Home Screen

Hov

Sorry if there was a thread on this topic. I looked, but didn't come across one.

I recently ran into this problem where I can't do anything to the icons on my home screen. Usually when I longpress an icon I can move or delete it, but now none of those options pop up.

I rebooted my phone 3-4 times, I restored an earlier backup & still nothing.

It's weird because if I use the longpress function in the app drawer it works. I can add apps to my home screen, move to trash, etc.

Phone Info:
Model Number: LG-P999
Android Version: 2.3.7
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.55-cyanogenmod
Mod Version: Cyanogenmod-7-20120902-Nightly-p999
Build Number: Gingerbread

Why is it doing this? Is there any way I can fix it?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I found the solution. My desktop was locked. I had to unlock it by going to menu > more > unlock desktop

I have the same ROM as you (Cyanogenmod 7.2, nightly), and my desktop locked after deleting a catalog. Don't know why it does that.
