Updated cvs, and constraint of scale of a single mball makes it back
to start size and not scale any axis, but that seems to be a
limitation of the mball sphere, cos mball cube works.

Being unable to get out of constraint with mouse only still there,
tried grab with the mball cube. Top view and constraint X started via
MB2 axis (header says global), then had to press X (global), X again
(local) and another X (free). For Y axis by pressing MB2 (global), one
Y (local), a second Y (global ?) and another Y (free).

Repeated with monkey mesh, in and out of edit mode, same result about
unable to unlock with mouse, having to press keys a lot and strange
order in Y case.
