When drag-copying an object containing a halted LSL-Mono script, the script in the new copy is also halted. This is the desired behavior.

When drag-copying an object containing a halted SLua script the copied script may start running depending on A, the exact contents of the script, and B, whether one is copying a single instance or multiple instances.

Procedure to reproduce:

Step 1:

Rez a block. Put the following script in the block, mark it Not Running, and save.

local base = ll.GetPos()

while true do

ll.SetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast( LINK_THIS, {PRIM_POSITION, vector(math.random()-0.5, 0, 0) + (base + ll.GetPos())/2 } )

ll.SetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast( LINK_THIS, {PRIM_POSITION, vector(0, math.random()-0.5, 0) + (base + ll.GetPos())/2 } )

ll.SetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast( LINK_THIS, {PRIM_POSITION, vector(0, 0, math.random()-0.5) + (base + ll.GetPos())/2 } )

ll.SetText( tostring(ll.GetPos()-base), vector(1,1,1), 1 )

end--while

Drag-copy the object horizontally several times. Observe that the script remains halted. Select the newly created group of objects. Drag-copy the group vertically several times. Observe that some or all scripts in the new copies spontaneously start running.

Step 2:

Delete the first group. Rez a new block and put the following nearly identical script in it. (Difference is ll.SetText argument in line 6.) Again, mark it as not running and save.

local base = ll.GetPos()

while true do

ll.SetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast( LINK_THIS, {PRIM_POSITION, vector(math.random()-0.5, 0, 0) + (base + ll.GetPos())/2 } )

ll.SetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast( LINK_THIS, {PRIM_POSITION, vector(0, math.random()-0.5, 0) + (base + ll.GetPos())/2 } )

ll.SetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast( LINK_THIS, {PRIM_POSITION, vector(0, 0, math.random()-0.5) + (base + ll.GetPos())/2 } )

ll.SetText( tostring(os.clock()), vector(1,1,1), 1 )

end--while

Again, drag-copy the object. Observe that the new copy starts running immediately every time.

As you can imagine, this bug defeats attempts to start a group of test scripts together, or to precisely place a group of objects containing scripts that will move the objects before starting.
