[Virtools] copying entities inside a Place


I have a mystery I can't solve.

If an object is in a "Place" I've created, other than Trans-Place,
and I copy the object, the copy does not show up anywhere in
the level view.

It shows up in the heirarchy view, and in the 3d world ofcourse,
but nowhere to be found in the level view - making it hard to work
with.

Unfortunately, I copied a lot of objects in my project that way and
now I can't find any of them in the level view.

My workaround now is to move an object out of its Place ("move to
level") before copying it - then the .copy object shows up -
then I move the original back to its proper Place. This works, but
ofcourse I can't make copies while working in the 3d view, and it
takes several more steps.

Am I missing something? or is this a bug?
