Subject: Duplicated objects always offset, despite setting

In Vue 7 infinite, Mac OS 10.6.8, if I select an object and duplicate, the object and its duplicate both shift to some offset point.  This happens whether or not I have the 'offset duplicated objects' and/or 'center Vue objects when loading' setting set in preferences.  Similarly if I merely copy the object without even pasting it, the original object shifts to some offset; I can't even undo the shift in this case and have to re-open the view file.

The best workaround I've come up with is that subsequent duplicates behave properly.  That is, if I dupe once, the object and its dupe move; if I dupe again, all objects stay in place, which is the expected behavior based on my settings.

I think the same problem occurs when I use the Replicate function:  the initial replication ignores my pivot point settings, but if I replicate again using one of the replicated objects, it uses my pivot point settings.

Has anyone seen this problem before?  Is there a good workaround?

Thanks for your help,
