Well, as a Locate-Edit is meant for locating, and locationg while in
edit/insert-mode shouldn't be done, I would suggest to have it simply
disabled when in these modes. the most convenient way to do this would be an
additional property, perhaps AllowLocateInUpdate or so to toggle this
behavior.

My 2cents
