I found a bug with the new tiles spawns.

I'll try to explain so you understand.

When i have a spawner that will use tiles based spawns i usually enter the mobiles, amounts end everything else first. Then i go through the list from top to bottom and paste in the specific tile info in front of every mobile. So far so good, but when i scroll the list down to reach entries outside the list, and having the text input prompt ( forgot the name ) in the bottom entry, and i scroll down so it ends up in the first empty entry, SpawnEditor automatically pastes the contents of the last entry the text input prompt was at in that entry. This happens every time i do this, so i have to delete that entry again every time.

This only happens when scrolling into an empty text box, with the cursor at the bottom of list. Either if i drag the handle, or scroll using the arrows. And i only scroll, into that empty box. No copy/paste. So SpawnEditor does it all by itself.

This does not happen for entries that dont contain the #TILES command.

Hope you understand what i am trying to say. If not, i'll try to clarify with screenshots.

hmm. I'll try to reproduce that.

Let me know if you can reproduce it. If not, it may be something on my computer, but i cant figure out what if that's the case.

Okay, i did a test so i could give you a way to reproduce it. So this is what i did...

1. Add a spawn
2. Add 15 orc's
3. From the top paste ( #TILES,3,5; ) before the orcs
4. Fill the first page without scrolling down.
5. Scroll down one step, and paste
6. Continue with step 5 until you have pasted to 14 of the orcs, and having nr 14 at the bottom of the page.
7. Grab the scroll bar and scroll down. After a few tries, you shoul get an autopaste of ( "#TILES,3,5; Orc" ) below the orc with no #TILES, orc nr 15.

It dont happen everytime, but after a few tries, you should encounter the bug. This also works if you scroll using the scrollbar arrows.

EDIT:
---------------------------------
Forgot to mention that this works with both an empty project and one with 117 spawners placed. And i have run SpawnEditor both without any other programs running on the computer, and with lots of programs. Same result.
