PM17240: copying objects 'copy objects' tool and copy via drag and drop r esults are inconsistent

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem
  Copying objects to another object and making them appear at
  level below the currently selected object in the target places
  the newly copied object in a different position depending on the
  means of copying: drag and drop v copy objects. drag and drop
  documents that if the target object already has children the
  copied object becomes it's first child. Using 'copy objects' the
  copied object becomes the last child.
  
  To Reproduce
  - create modules A and B
  - create a hierarchy like this in module A
  
  1. ?obj heading?
  1.1 ?obj text?
  1.2 ?obj text?
  
  - in module B have a few objects with object text only
  
  using drag and drop
  
  - drag an object from module B to object 1 in A
  - select copy ? below from the pop up menu
  - the new object is placed as the first child of 1
  
  using 'copy objects'
  
  - select an object in B
  - go to tools ? functions ? copy objects
  - select A as the target module
  - open A and ensure that object 1 is selected
  - for the 'copy' option select 'current object only'
  - the new object is placed as the last child of 1
  
  Similar behaviour will happen even if module A is not open - it
  will be copied as the last child of the object which is current
  when the module is opened.
