The "Add to Palette" option in the right-click popup for the map editor has been removed, and "Make Active Object" now selects the atom in the palette.

This issue has been resolved.

Descriptive Problem Summary: Right clicking a turf/obj/mob in the map editor and clicking make active object no longer selects the turf/object/mob to be used with the fill rectangle tool or the pencil tool. This greatly slows down mapping for me and has always been a feature

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem: right click a turf/obj/mob in the map editor and click make active object. note that it doesn't change what your pencil/fill tool is using like it did in 514

Zagros5000	I hope this was not intentional because I'm not using 515 for map development if so

Lummox JR	That's definitely an oversight. Additionally I noticed the Add to Palette option is grayed out when it should never be; it should always select the atom in the palette.
