Why not just move those newly pasted object immediately upon pasting? Once they have been pasted, they are still selected, and you can move them with the cursor keys. You don't need to move anything to get at them. If you use the cursor key by, it will move the objects one pixel. If you hold the shift key while you use the cursor key, it will move the objects by 10 pixels. I use this technique to keep patches looking "clean"...

I'm running Pd-extended 0.40.3 on an iBook G4 in OS X 10.4.11, and
I've noticed that if I copy an object and then paste it to the same
place, the newly pasted object ends up under the old object. This is
annoying because if I have some objects that are already connected to
other objects and I copy and paste them, I then have to move the
original objects out of the way to get access to the newly pasted
objects. I feel like in the previous version of Pd-extended the newly
pasted objects end up on top of the old objects, so that you could
just paste and them move them out of the way.

So first, is my memory of the old behavior correct? Second, is this
the behavior people would expect? Third, are people seeing this across
platforms, or is it just me?
