if the object(s) selected to copy/paste are entirely within
the mapper, the screen does not resize. if an object or any portion of an object
is outside the mapper, the screen will resize and reposition using the mbr
method. that code has been around since v5.5 and had not really
changed.

Subject: RE: [MI-L] MI 8.5 Copy/Paste issue-Upon further investigation, I have isolated the issue to only Polyline, Polygon, and Text objects. Point objects do not seem to be affected. And, again, only with single objects. Multiple objects pasted have always had this result.I have done numerous test in versions 8.0 and 8.5 using the same objects, on the same computer, and I stand by my assertion that, in previous versions, when a single object of these types was copied and pasted (with the the entire object displayed within the map window to begin with), there was no change in the window zoom.In version 8.5, upon pasting the object, the map zooms in to the object. This is a change in the MI program with version 8.5, and is extremely frustrating for those of us doing cartographic work. So much so that I may ask for my money back...
I talked to tech support about this about 6 or 8 months ago. Apparently it is just something "to live with", not a bug and no "fixes" in store. At least for me, it has been this way for MANY versions. As mentioned previously, I KNOW it will happen and count on "previous view".

It's not just v8.5
6.5 does the same thing as well.
Also, if an object such as a polyline or polygon extends past the viewable mapper, if you copy/cut and paste, it zooms to the pasted object.
EXTREEEEEMLY annoying! Really makes ya want to shell out the bucks (money) for each successive upgrade huh?

Subject: [MI-L] MI 8.5 Copy/Paste issue
Hello-
Has anyone else noticed that in MI 8.5, when you copy and paste an object in a map window, it automatically zooms to the object that has been pasted? Previous versions always did this when the user copied/pasted multiple objects, but this seems to be a new "enhancement" -- and it's quite frustrating!
Is this an option I can turn off somewhere?
Thanks,
-Jason
