messed up glueing to backround

[FuzzyLogicBrain]

yes, i know its been reported before, but this, this this, GLITCH, screwed up FIVE of painstakingly precise scenes, one right after the other. (there's no stopping it!) if > 1 objects are glued to the backround, and if they are in contact with each other, colision layers do not effect this glitch, and one of them is attached to the backround by a fix joint, and the damn thing forgets that it exists! THEN, then, then the objects detach themselves from the backround, and say to each other, "HEY guys! I just had a brilliant idea! since we where stuck to the same thing, lets stick together!" and they glue themselves, to ech other. WHY?!

I reproduced that GLITCH:

pff, dont need to run the simulation in 1.8.5

I reproduced that GLITCH:

1) Glue boxes to background
2) Fixate one box (So glued and fixated to background)
3) Remove fixate (So glued but no longer fixated to background).

This simply fools Algodoo. You're telling Algodoo to glue together some stuff and magically stick to the background. When you remove the fixate you're teling Algodoo to no longer stick to the background, but Algodoo still remembers the gluing.

You're outfoxing Algodoo. Good on you, sir!

I honestly don't see the big problem. You're gluing together a bunch of stuff, attach it to the background, then tell Algodoo that in fact it should NOT attach to the background. So it comes loose. When would this be bad? Wouldn't it be even more confusing if something was fixated to the background and you removed the fixate and it didn't come loose?

I don't know about what FLB and Ivan said, but I like the behavior in Emil's post.

I used it when I inadvertently hlued a ox to the background and didn't like how it didn't fall.
This was very early in my relatively short-lived career as a Phun user, and I didn't yet know about Geom Actions >> Loosen.

When was THAT1?
