3) 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.)
1) 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.
2) 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.
