Bug Fixes:

BUG ID 44513 - New values set using Layer.setProceduralParameter could incorrectly be set as an unexpected type, which potentially caused layer operations to crash.

BUG ID 44819 - The Unlock Entire Object behavior did not unlock any object, patch, or face, when switching selection modes.
