Clones not clones.

I know.

If I make a small oval graphic, that is, resized to be much smaller than the default, and then try to clone it, the copy comes as the default size. Makes no difference if I lock the size and loc of the original.

Bug in legacy LC?

Known, likely a design decision which affects the subset of use cases where a graphic may be too small to work with interactively:

Reported for consideration whether to update docs or the code:

Thanks.

It felt like it was intentional. For my purpose, I needed 100 clones. I had to write a short handler to clone the last grc, then set the clone's height, width, name and loc. Not too bad. This might end up as a library gadget, "cloneExactly".

Hi guys, I am almost sure that BerndN has submitted a PR that fixed that bug in LC9. (I am out of office now so I cannot check)

Best,
