TFS Prevent two people from editing the same bug

I am working on an evaluation of TFS 2013, specifically for bug tracking. We are already using it for source control. The question that has been asked, is regarding the "locking" of bug records in TFS. Our folks have demonstrated that they can get into a state where if using the web client, and Visual Studio, they are able to both edit the same bug.

Is there a way to limit this interaction so that only one person can edit that item? I know other bug tracking software already does this. I am hoping that this is a misconfiguration in the proto environment that they have built.

To avoid multiple modification on a work item at the same time, you can customize the "Changed By" Field definition to prevent others to modify this field once it has a value:

<FieldDefinition name="Changed By" refname="System.ChangedBy" type="String" syncnamechanges="true" reportable="dimension">
<COPY from="currentuser" />  
<FROZEN /> 
</FieldDefinition>
