Can anyone here help me with an issue I'm having. I lost the ability to resize source.

Obviously you have NO CLUE what I'm asking. My question has nothing to do with the lock you're referring to. It seems more technical than you're thinking.

Considering the option being shown and asked about is one of the very few things in OBS that can prevent a source from being resized, it's a very valid question. Try not to snap at and insult people that are trying to help you. Your explanation on what the issue actually is, and details thereof (i.e. logs, screenshots, etc.) make it difficult to provide anything further.
The other option is locking the preview itself, which can be checked in the Edit menu.

The don't be stupid prompted my response. I wouldn't come here for such a simple task.
I believe the "Don't be stupid" quote was part of his signature and not aimed at you specifically.

And where did you find the "resize source" in OBS? There is "Transform" in OBS but not "resize source".

- You need to provide more details on the issue.
- Please, describe step-by-step what you attempted to do and what is going wrong with OBS.
- Sometimes the log-file of OBS also may help, attach it to your post here if possible:
Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...
OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...
It's been seven months with no updates here, so maybe OP got it sorted, but for anyone else fining this thread by search, like I did:
I suddenly encountered the same problem, on a Mac. Everything was working fine, I added a new scene and source during a livestream, and suddenly lost all ability to resize that or any other source. The bounding box is there, the grab handles are extra large, but if I try to click on anything in the Preview window, and the selection is simply cleared with no effect on any sources. The Transform settings have no effect. Neither Preview nor Sources are locked.
But there was a simple fix - resize the OBS window itself (just a tiny bit), which causes the Preview window to reset its zoom, and everything returns to working normally.

Thank you so much for posting this response. I just had the same problem while in full screen. Escaped and it's all good! :)
