I have been having some pretty seriously shitty issues with World Editor recently which have been causing a lot of wasted time and lost work as well as frustration and anger. Very often if I select an object and then release it I cannot select the object again unless I leave and re-enter the World Editor. It seems to happen most frequently with objects that were a part of a merge. Having to leave and re-enter constantly makes it very difficult to maintain a good work flow and get shit done. Another issue that has been happening frequently is that when I click on an object to select it the screen will sometimes minimize, and sometimes the program closes altogether, losing any work that is unsaved. This seems to happen most often when the object I am trying to select is red, but I haven't kept track so this could be my imagination. Stopping to save my work every few minutes also makes it difficult to maintain a good work flow. I have had several instances now of working on a project and making some good progress when suddenly the program closes and I lose it all. Just a few minutes ago I lost about two hours worth of work, again. And finally, I think, it's the fall-through-floor glitch on steroids. I've had this on two builds; an abandoned bunker turned home/party spot 50m underground with a spawn on the surface, and a skyscraper observation deck some 400m above sea level. In both of them walking off the spawn area in any direction will result in falling through. I moved the yellow spawn box around in both of these builds a few times, including 1m above the surface, but no matter where I placed it I could not walk off the spawn point without falling through. I also tried moving the surfaces around or adding material. For example, in the skyscraper I; made the floor thicker, fell. Added a layer of concrete, fell. Sandwiched a layer of steel between two layers of concrete, fell. Two layers of steel and three concrete plus an additional layer of wood flooring on top of the original flooring, and this time I actually didn't fall through! Lol, No I fell through, of course!. I have reinstalled the game twice. I don't know if it's the game, my copy of the game, my PC... And I don't know where to even begin looking for a cause or solution to any of these problems. What the hell is going on?

The "Cup" Object is broken in patch 414. I cant transform it like it was before. For simple things like plant pots its easy to fix, but not for the ship wich i use on my map. Impossible to fix that for me. So pls revert it back like it was before. Second thing is, the "New Glossy Plastic" texture is not glossy anymore. I mean its nice, that it is not so reflecting anymore, but with lighting black looks like grey now. Sorry for my english.

I ran into a strange problem: I have accidentally deleted a large block under the house (the complete lawn) and wanted to reinsert it by using a former version of my room, save that block to file and merge it into the actual version. It is not possible to save this block as a file: The "save selected..." dialog runs as usual, but no file is written afterwards. Is there a limit in the size of the item to be saved this way, or is it because it is a single item?
