Question - IDE Instances placed outside room in editor

I'm having trouble finding the option or flag to prevent instances placed outside the room in the room editor from being destroyed at runtime.

I distinctly remember a dialog and option in GM:S 1.4

Currently, I'm putting some deflectors around the edges of the room to help with a particular type of collision, but these objects are being removed from the room at run time.

There is no such option, but they also shouldn't be getting destroyed... I'd file a bug for that, and in the meantime if you create them using code they should be fine outside the room.

Uh... hrm. Well, after reloading the game to double check things, the objects in question became unkown objects, and the master object was missing from the Objects list.

So I quickly remade them, and now they work...?

Odd.

If you still have a copy of the broken version you should really file a bug as that sounds like something that shouldn't happen! If you don't then obviously you can't, but if it happens again then please do... :)
