I've brought this to live help's attention, had a life helper come out, she was able to reproduce it. I contacted an online Linden to see if they were available to come and reproduce it, they advised me to fill out a bug report. I did, detailing exactly the steps to reproduce. I'm reproducing those steps here, because from previous experience with the bug reporting feature, it takes 3-4 months for a bug report to filter down the queue to come to anyone's attention. I feel this is important enough to bring to people's attention.

Prior to 1.12, if I had modify rights on another avatar's prims, and the prim in question was next-owner permed to MCT (or any combination therof, as long as it included copy), one could shift-drag, and copy it.

As of 1.12, this no longer works. you get an "unable to copy" permissions error dialog, and cannot duplicate/shift copy it.

Steps to reproduce:

(For ease of typing, I'm going to refer to Avatar#1 as Dick, and Avatar#2 as Jane)

Dick adds Jane as a friend and grants her modify rights
Dick rezzes a fresh prim, sets permissions for "next owner can" to MCT
Jane tries to Shift-Drag or Cmd-D duplicate the prim
Jane is unsuccessful.

Prior to 1.12, if these steps were followed, Jane would have a full permed copy of Dick's object in-world, to do whatever she wishes. Now, although Jane can manipulate Dick's prims as if they were her own (resize, position, take into inventory, etc.), she cannot duplicate them in world.

This is a major pain in the arse for builders who collaborate with each other on builds, it gets tiring after a while asking one person to shift copy a prim so you can work on it.

Anyway, thought posting here would bring this more quickly to the attention of those who can do something about it in reasonably short order.

Cheers!
