(Case 1251440) Move Tool position changes after duplicating GameObject selection

The bug-report has a pretty weak quality weighting, so I'm not sure if it makes it through QA, unless you pick it yourself.

 

Why was this bug closed with "won't fix" and this note:

If it gets addressed by future work, why not leaving it open and set it to "Fixed" once that future work is done? Since this is now officially out of your system, I actually doubt that it gets addressed at all.
