In build 28, if you edit a hold created by someone else, it asks you if you want to make a copy. If you say "yes", then once you leave the room editor to the main editor, the new hold doesn't appear on the list. You have to leave the editor completely and return for it to appear.

I think that not only should the copied hold appear on the list, it should also be selected to be the current hold, since that was the hold last edited.

Likely related to this...

I was editing a hold by someone else (TScotts Impossible Cubes)

I made a change to a room with a tar mother (2N1W) and playtested the room. I was prompted to make a backup copy of the hold when I pressed F5, which I did. I played for a bit, then quit out of playtesting to return to the editor. Some newly created tar babies remained onscreen. Going to a different room and back, or leaving the editor and coming back, removed the new tar babies from the room.

I put in a bug report for both of these.

Eew...there were bad bugs hidden in the symptoms you were each describing. (One of these involves losing message texts when levels from either the original or the copied hold are deleted, and might have caused Stuart's losing text bug.) They'll be fixed in build 29. For anyone who has copied holds by editing a hold and still has both holds around, I would recommend not touching either one of them until build 29. And then use build 29 to re-edit/copy the original hold again. If you have to work with one of them, don't touch the other one or risk facing the wrath of bugdom. (Sorry.)

Ah, so that's what corrupted my hold and its levels.

Is this related to "Bug: Changing rooms in the editor" ?

(I haven't seen it fixed yet in the changelogs, but i may have missed it - don't know, as i've currently no way to try the beta, before it runs in linux)

No. That bug was fixed in build 28 and is listed as "81100 BUG: Losing edited room changes."
