Having strange problem with the 'clone' command

You probably know you're running into the default object size -- not sure why. Out of curiosity, you might see if the behavior occurs in a standalone, just to see if there's some gremlin in your stack. Also, in addition to the clone command, you could try using the template graphic + the create command.

Subject: Having strange problem with the 'clone' command
I'm just trying to create a simple array of rectangles .....
I've created one (called, with great imagination :), "R1") which has all
the correct characteristics, including a width and height of 8
But when I clone it to create my other shapes, the widths and heights
all come out to 120 instead of 8. I can fix this up (as I do in the
following code), but I don't understand why that would be necessary (or
what other properties might be different from what I expect).
> repeat with y = 0 to 5
> repeat with x = 0 to 4
> put "_h01_" & x & y into tName
> clone grc "R1"
> set the name of it to tName
> put the width of grc tName && the width of grc "R1" & CR
> after field "F"
> set the loc of grc tName to 100 + 20*x, 150 + 20*y
> set the width of grc tName to 8
> set the height of grc tName to 8
> set the visible of grc tName to true
> put the width of grc tName && the width of grc "R1" & CR
> after field "F"
> put "grc" && quote & tName & quote && "and" & space after
> tGroupList
> end repeat
> end repeat
>
what shows up in the field is
> 120 8
> 8 8
> 120 8
> 8 8
> 120 8
> 8 8
> 120 8
> 8 8
> etc.
I tried to create a tiny sample stack to show the problem, and initially
succeeded, but at some point as I tried minor variations, it started
working - and now I can't get it to fail again. The time it started
working was when I changed
clone invisible grc "R1"
to simply
clone grc "R1"
but changing that back didn't cause the problem to recur.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
