Legacy GM "Ghost" objects in room editor?

[Nicholas B.]

When resizing objects to smaller sizes(close to a pixel in size) in the room editor, said objects seem to become "ghost" objects and cannot be selected with the mouse. They also are not removed when holding RMB+Shift. The only way to select them or remove them is through the Instance Ordering window.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

You cannot select even after zooming-in? If your object is behind another instance, in room order, it won't be clickable. The room editor is not bad but it's buggy; specialy when selecting multiple objects to copy/paste them. But the ordering window works, go with it.

Maybe the object became 0x0 pixels ?

Sorry for the late reply, but yes, I was unable to select the object when zooming in. No other objects were above or behind the object. It happened specifically when I was resizing said object to a small size.

That could be a possibility, but if it was 0x0 pixels, then the object would not be visible at all.

You can always check in XML file generated for this room. Object could be visible if it's 0x0 if it uses custom draw code.
