A few updates ago I noticed that I am longer able to toggle the Phantom or Temp rez options on a multi-section object without changing each section manually. I often used to select and entire structure of 10 or more linked sections and turn these options on. Now, by the time i get to the 6th or 7th section, the first ones start disappearing. Is there any reason for this change?

Also i seem to recall that flagging an object as temp rez used to take effect the NEXT time the object is rezzed as opposed to immediately as it does now. Making it so either one of the above two were possible would make my life alot easier.

Finally, I teach a few students how to build and I used to be able to right click on their completed objects and take a copy. (I have their mod rights) Now, since 1.12 I cant even take a copy of a cube they rez, even though I can shift-drag a copy and/or take the object.

Another minor inconvenience caused by "fixing" something that I didn't think was broken??

Thanks for all your help.

This one's sounds like a Resident Experience bug I've entered earlier; I did my SNAKES ON A PLANE test to verify this. Will also enter your feedback.

Will take a look at this closer; I didn't know it changed.

^ That doesn't sound correct, please file a bug report from the Help menu. Our eXtreme Bug Hunters will check it out, and you can also email me (torley@lindenlab.com) the # of your bug report. I'll reply as soon as I can to confirm. =)

[UPDATE] Confirming this is why the name was changed to "Temporary". The old behavior was found to be confusing by some because they checked a box and expected it to disappear, and then later learned they have to take it into inventory and *then* rez it to make it temporary. This is more direct.
