AWESOME... At least people are aware. What I can't figure out is how no one else spotted this over the last 3 - 4 years. I thought it was me or lag, but it seemed to be getting worse. Guess it was a question of steps that I did or something. Regardless, at least LL is aware of it now.

YOU ARE MY SAVIOUR! Everyone thought I was crazy. That appears to be exactly what is happening. Evidently THERE IS a bug in the system. Agreed?

Thanks for the report. I can reproduce this with Second Life Release 7.2.1.17108480561 (64bit) on Second Life Server 2025-09-16.17777995432. It appears that if you had selected an object prior to edit permissions being granted, it caches the "no modify" state when edit permissions have been granted.
Here's the end-to-end repro case:
- UserA and UserB (who are not yet friends): login to the same location
- UserA: Right click on UserB and select "Add friend"
- UserB: Accept UserA's friendship offer
- UserA and UserB: Open the other user's profile in People -> Friends, and click Actions -> Permissions to view permissions
- UserA and UserB: Verify that the default permissions are set:
- 'See when I am online' is
enabled
- 'Find me on the world map' is
disabled
- 'Edit, delete, and take objects from my land' is
disabled
- UserA: Rez a new box with the build tool
- UserB: select UserA's box, and attempt to resize it
- UserB: Verify that editing is disabled, with "You can't modify this object" shown in the build tool
- UserA: Enable 'Edit, delete, and take objects from my land' from the permissions options, then click Yes to confirm
- UserB: Verify you see a notification that '[UserA] has given you permission to edit their objects.'
- UserB: Select UserA's box from (6) again and attempt to resize it
- UserA: Rez a new sphere with the build tool
- UserB: Select UserA's sphere and attempt to resize it
12: UserA: Select your box, resize it, then deselect it
13: UserB: Make another attempt to resize UserA's box
Expected results:
- After UserA gives object edit permissions to UserB, UserB should be able to resize both the box that UserA had rezzed prior to the permissions grant, as well as the sphere that UserA had rezzed after permissions were granted.
Actual results:
- In (9), UserB observes that that "You can't modify this object" shown in the build tool, and that you can't edit the box ( BUG- UserB should be able to edit it! )
- In (11), UserB observes that "You can modify this object" correctly appears in the build tool, and that the sphere can be resized by UserB immediately
- In (13), UserB observes that they can now resize the box, following UserA's slight modification
