Expected Behavior
I expect to be able to traverse the hierarchy as normal, and for instances that are being dragged and dropped to a new parent not appear to be copied to that new parent.

Actual Behavior
Instances with children are shown to have no children. For the instances affected, when they are drag and dropped to a new parent they appear to be copied over. This, however, is not actually the case. It is just visually represented as such.

Note this happens even if the instance is not being grouped. It seems to be if the parent changes in general that this bug occurs.

Workaround

  • Duplicate the direct parent of all affected items and delete the old one (preferred).
  • Close and reopen the place (if you hate yourself).

Yep! I edited the original post to add one. Thank you!

im unable to produce the bug, i did the steps as mentioned, i guess you should change the "how often does this occur to moderately or something

#5

here is the full video:

note: the parts where the mouse goes missing is where i had to manually insert the model

I see. You’re actually reproducing it wrong. The bug is due to using Workspace Filtering. It seems to be when the parent of something changes while you’re filtering it will break.

I had a friend reproduce this as well just in case, and yeah, it breaks for them as well. Thank you for trying to reproduce it though, :).

I was able to reproduce this consistently as well, super odd behavior.
