Fix the old WED duplicate object error
WED still has problems with duplicating items, their positions and snapping. There are two issues with this:
Duplicating via Move+Shift:
When dragging to create a duplicate (Move+Shift) the duplicate is not always snapped properly. For example, if snapping is set to 16 and you drag a duplicate, then you cannot align it with the original (say, if it is a road or a wall, etc). I end up having to go up to the snapping setting and reduce it to something else (8, 4, 2, etc) in order to get the new object to align properly. This should not be the case.
Duplicating via Copy/Paste:
I currently have my offset settings for duplicating set to 0 for each axis. However, there are times when an item in WED is copy/pasted it will still be offset. This does not happen all the time, but sometimes and it can be frustrating.

Fix the left-hand properties panel so that it tells you if there are hidden flags if resized too small
Currently, if you extend the vertical size of the left-hand panel (Level, Presets, Texture, Resources) so that the Properties panel (Properties, Behaviour, Position, Object) at the bottom is smaller, then some of the flags (check boxes), etc, are slid off the screen. There is nothing currently to tell the end-user that some of these are currently not visible. As a result, I did not see the following flags under Properties:
- Shadow - Passable - Cast - BBox - Metal - Polygon - Local
I did not see them for quite some time because I did not know they were there as a result of having expanded the upper Level section to see more of that while moving/organizing items.
WED should tell me that there are flags and things hidden when a panel/window is too small. Perhaps an arrow pointing downward or a scroll bar ... something that says, "Hey! Click me! There's more to see!" There is simply no reason for something to be able to be taken off the screen like this and the end-user not have any idea that these things are there.
