- When you copy and paste (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V in immediate succession), the
pasted object is in exactly the same position as the copied object (fine), except that it is _underneath_, so when you click and drag it out of the way you move the original instead, messing up your carefully placed patch cords. The solution being to move the original _before_ I hit Ctrl-V, but it's very hard to train myself to do this. It would be better if the newly pasted object was on top.

Hello all,
There are two minor issues in PD that I've ignored for a long time, but they do tend to become annoying after long editing sessions. (The fact that I'm complaining about such small things attests to how amazing PD is otherwise.)
- Windows do not hold their size. If I carefully set the size of a
patch window, it may or may not stay that way for a few edits, but eventually, it will "grow". I like to have the windows be just a little bigger than the biggest element in my patch (usually a large background canvas), but PD seems to sporadically resize the windows a bit bigger than that. I can't find a consistent behavior here, it just happens eventually.
- The opening position of property dialogs, when repeatedly accessed,
"wander" down the screen, until eventually, they are nearly off the bottom of the screen. I'm guessing the behavior is partly intentional, to enable tiling of multiply-opened windows, but it happens even when only one property window is open at a time.
I'm on PD-0.39.2-extended-test7, Mac Intel, if that's relevant.
