Duplicate items when editing

[TrystanLaryssa]

So... this was new. I have built several bases, but I'm trying out my "Ultimate Idea" which requires building on top of the base. I don't know if that is what is causing the error, so full disclosure, I am working out-of-bounds.

 

As the area I'm trying to make is outdoors, I had chosen to use a number of very large grass and rock items, specifically the grass hills and some of the "island rocks." All was going well, I have often used large rocks before to partially wall off a "cave" room or whatever. But partway through editing, actually not even very far into editing, I realized that if I moved an object I already placed, instead of moving it, it would make a duplicate, after which the original one would no longer be selectable. Moving around the duplicate would eventually result in -another- duplicate if I did it long enough. After a point, every move made a clone, and I had six huge rocks.

 

I exited the editor. No change. I exited the base and reentered. No change. Closing down the -game- resulted in being able to go back in, and all of the extra items were there, but all selectable and deletable. So I deleted them. Now I started adding more terrain, but the first piece I added lifted to about the level I needed, and then duplicated again. Original not selectable. Same error, only this time a hill instead of a rock.

 

What is causing this? Do I need to back out and begin from scratch again? I can if it's necessary. I have not done much with the base yet, as the groundwork was my first step, but if there are certain items to avoid, or something else is causing this, I'd like to know what it might be. At the point of the glitch, I had a large grass valley, two recolorable water items, two big Island rocks, and then, later, one grass hill, so not a lot of items. But I'd rather know before I get too far, as I don't want to waste my work.

I have had this happen as well.  I have had several items - everything from the entrance portal to items of power - duplicate themselves.  The editor seems to correct itself eventually and remove the duplicated items.

 

Strange bug to be sure.

It may not be the entrance specifically, but it seems related.
