spanselector does not respect widgetlock #1368
Description
the spanselector does not ignore events when the widgetlock is set (e.g. when in zoom or pan mode)
in zoom mode it is not really bad, it just draws two things but in pan mode it flickers a lot.
to reproduce it just use the spanselector example in the source and go into zoom and pan mode.
when panning in the shipped example I also get this traceback:

ax2.set_xlim(thisx[0], thisx[-1])
The rectangle selector does not have this issue as it checks for widgetlock in its ignore function
it affects git head and 1.1.0, possibly also older versions.

This is still an issue master. It looks like the various call-backs that are set up with SpanSelector + the pan conflict.
@fariza 's MEP 22 will probably go a long way towards fixing the underlying issue.

One question...
Is the Canvas supposed to protect itself with the widgetlock or whoever whants to draw have to check?

@juliantaylor this might be fixed on current master, #3502 refactored how much of this was handled.

I just checked and it has been solved. Please reopen if problem persist
