I'm not 100% sure whether this a bug or not -- I filed Bug 21509
<https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21509> to report it. Cloning
an object makes a duplicate in the same container as the original. Cloning
a card makes a duplicate in the stack where the script is running. I don't
know if the message box is somehow different than Navigator to prevent
this, or if there is code to prevent it happening in the message box like I
have now put in Navigator. We'll see what the response is.
