3D Editor duplication bug...

Nice little tongue twister of a title! but yes, anyway, has anyone else had this issue yet? i have placed a hat full of village buildings onto the map, gone into the 3d editor mode (from 2d birds eye view mode) and the moment i try to edit the position of a building, be it on the X Y Z, rotation or the new (and rather lovely) free move at ground value button, it duplicates the building! the thing is, once you leave the edit mode after editing the position of the building, the old building you had originally placed, vanishes! thats great! but having this, solid ghost of the object present whilst editing the position can get very annoying when trying to work out the new position! so thats the first thing, the other thing is, when this new editable copy appears when you highlight it, it doesn't appear at the original placement but slightly off, be it left, right and even (and this one makes me think this is a bug) upside down!! now i may be pretty new to editing foundrys buuuut im pretty sure even i can determine when placing a building that its upside down or not! lol.
So yes, has anyone else had this issue? is it a known bug and can anyone even make sense of the gibberish ive just written! :D lol

    Ok, to make this a little easier i took a screen shot

    As you can see, in the screenie, after highlighting the editing square (without even clicking) the editing box appears around the building, it its not our originally placed building, that is still sat there in a ghost like form whilst this new one appears and is not even in line with it. The old one is a solid shape and thus blocks out viewing of the editing. Once ive placed this new building and i exit the editing mode, the old one vanishes replaced by our newly edited building. I have also noticed this is a single occurrence, after exiting the edit mode and then going back into it this building will now no longer create a duplicate but instead be editable how it should be by simply dragging around and re placing it. All well and good but the exiting and re entering of edit mode just to fix a building from ghosting is a very timely and very off putting fix.
    Hope this helps explain it better

    Yeah, I had some similar problems editing. 4 Houses just duplicated/vanished, so I spend a lot of time to drag the new ones at the exact position, saved and closed project. And I had some other problems with objects near the houses like vines.

    Now I'm really afraid to touch anything, seriously.

    I noticed that my house duplicated itself for some reason, though i hadn't actually clicked on anything. I had just been looking around, as my map is too broken to make any edits right now. Then i noticed there were actually two versions of my house sitting there, one slightly higher and slid north from the original.

    A friend of mine had the exact same issue lastnight. He said if he hovered over the house at all it would duplicate. However if he exited back to the editor and came back it would not be there.

    This makes me feel a little better knowing that the issue isn't just being raised by myself! Ofcourse, its still bad that its happening to others too! lol. I agree with you complete valcontar73! Im too scared to start touching anything within edit mode because of this issue and the complications it brings up whilst editing! Since posting this thread i haven't touched the foundry as id prefer it to be fixed and sorted before i delve deep into designing, cant paint a picture if the brush keeps breaking can you lol.
    I believe Crok and ZBK that your both right there, you dont even need to click on the edit box, just merely hovering over the box creates the duplication! That creates all levels of annoyance when you can even move around the map without fear of something duplicating and messing with your layout, even if it is a ghost layout so to speak.

    (Oh and thank you to whatever higher power that be, for shifting this to the relevant place :) )

    no I haven't had that issue but I did have the issue of duplicating an entire quest and deleting the original then when I went into the new quest the only thing that was there was the description.

    Well, with the foundry now down with any luck this and a few other issues are hopefully being resolved! *crosses fingers* :)
