Overrule codepoints bug

Post by MBear227 »

So when I Paste Special glyphs and overrule/add codepoints, they overrule ALL codepoints of any glyphs that have the new glyphs' codepoints.

So for example, suppose there's a glyph double-mapped at codepoints U+1234 and U+5678. I Paste Special a glyph that only has U+5678, setting the paste special to overrule mappings. The result is that the first glyph loses ALL of it's codepoints, not just U+5678, but also U+1234, even though I didn't paste in any U+1234 to overrule.

I've been experiencing this for a lil while and I find it very annoying, as it's not my desired outcome and makes some of my work harder. I want the first glyph to keep the U+1234 codepoint, and only give up the U+5678 for the new glyph, as this is how it worked in older versions.
