Using editor Preview Mode hotkey at least twice while playtest is paused resets object position permanently ​

Version: 2.208
Date: 31/01/2026

Description ​

Pressing the F3 Preview Mode hotkey two times or more while editor playtesting is paused moves objects permanently.

The first use resets object positions to default, the second use reverts the position back to where it was in playtesting. The second move will not be undone when playtesting is stopped.

Regrouping objects with Group Parent IDs creates phantom groups ​

Version: 2.208
Date: 31/01/2026

Description ​

Groups are remapped by Regroup and Build Helper, but Group Parent IDs are not.
The object remains the Group Parent ID for the old group despite said group no longer being in the group list.
This can cause issues by introducing phantom groups - the group is technically unused and not visible in the group list of the affected object, so it'll be available for Regroup and Build Helper, but the object is still the Group Parent ID for said group, so if a trigger relies on Group Parent IDs like Area or Advanced Follow, then said object will be used as the center, causing issues.
