Am i crazy or are prims not going where they should. I can place a prim in the same coordinates several times and each time it ends up in a different postion. Anyone else having this problem?

ohhh prim drift. It's one of those nasty bugs that has never been properly squashed. I first encountered it in 1.4
Usualy very rare, and limited to tortured prims.

Probably has to do with overflow & underflow between prim attributes (this bug has *never* been properly fixed). (the stopgap solution was to run paramater checks on each update to make sure they were valid.)
