G4: Inconsistent glyph paste order

Glyphs
1

Hi.

When I copy and paste a glyph to duplicate it in the glyph list, the new glyph is sometimes inserted immediately after the copied glyph, but sometimes it is placed at the end of the glyph list.(without any glyph order)

In Glyphs 3, the pasted glyph was consistently inserted directly after the copied glyph, which is the behavior I would expect.

Sometimes it worked after I renamed one of those new glyphs. Seems like renaming somehow refreshes the glyph order in some situations.

The difference is if the glyph already has a suffix or not.

Not in all cases.

I’m not aware of any user requests that would have made this change necessary, but I find the current behavior really annoying.
