Yep, it's a real pain, I do this too, constantly resizing an actor when I want to move it. In fact if an actor gets too small you can't do much with it at all in the actual scene.

Click on the actor and use the arrow keys to move it - if you want to move it faster then hold down SHIFT when you use the arrow keys.

Or double click on the actor so you can enter it's size and position manually in the left hand attributes panel.

You can't lock the size, but one (stupid) trick would be to set the actor's size using two change attribute behaviours (height and width obviously!) - then you can just drag your actor around in the scene layout page and not worry if you have accidentally changed the size.

Gamesalad is generally awful when it comes to basic scene layout tools (perhaps the worst I have come across?), but you get used to it fairly quickly.
