Possible bug 0.95: attributes from copied actor

Hi,
I might have stumbled upon a bug while building my TOTB3 project.
scenario:
Actor 1: 5 atributes
Attribute1
Attribute2
Attribute3
Attribute4
Attribute5
These attributes are all used in rules or interpolate, etc. in this actor 1
I need a second actor with some of these attributes so made a copy of actor 1 and named it actor 2
actor 2:
Attributes 4 and 5 are deleted:
Attribute1
Attribute2
Attribute3
Then Attribute 4 and 5 are still in actor one but on all instances in rules, interpolates, etc. they are replaced by a zero.
I get no errors of missing attributes in actor 1.
My guess is that the same id's are used in actor 1 and 2.
I can confirm this because when I copy a rule with an attribute (attribute1 for example) from actor 2 into actor 1 or vise versa it does not make this attribute blank (or zero) as it normally would when you copy stuff from one actor to the other with self. attributes.
I don't have time to test much because I am trying to win a contest so no time
Can anyone else confirm this.
Cheers,
Ludwig

More similar to this problem.
When I have an attribute on stage that has been altered. So it is 'disconnected' from the prototype.
Copying behaviors inside this often results in an empty attribute.
For example:
Change attribute game.actorxposition to self.position
results in an empty field where there was self.position.
Also when I copy the actor itself on the stage it gives me empty attributes like this.
This slows down my TOTB3 build, boooohooo!
Anyone able to reproduce this?

Suddenly I started getting all kinds of weird errors I never got before. It does slow things down when working, but at least it's an easy fix on our end.

Happy that its not me. It freaks me out
I can work around it but I get it a lot because I am using a lot of on stage references to other actors. (XY positions and such).
It takes a lot of time specially when an actor starts acting weird after I altered something and I think is this alteration causing it when in fact it is a behavior jumping to zero. I can live with that for now, Actors are weird anyway ain't they
Cheerio
