Editor Crash when adding collisions to a static mesh by copy/paste of array elements.

Reproducible: 100%.

How to reproduce:

1. Open a static mesh;
2. Go to “Collision” → “Add box simplified collision”;
3. Go to “Details/Collision/Primitives/Boxes”;
4. Right-Click on first element of the “Boxes” array → “Copy”;
5. Right-Click on the “Boxes” array → “Paste”;
6. The Editor crashes;

Work around:

1. Repeat steps 1-4 as above.
2. Right-Click on any element in the array and “Paste”;

Hi Constantin,

Sorry for the delay.

I attempted to reproduce this on 2 different machines here but was unable to get your results. Do you have access to a second machine you could attempt to reproduce the crash on?

If not, could you provide a gif or short video of your repro steps?

Hi, sorry for the delay.

Yes, I tested on a another machine with same UE version and project, not sure about the object to which the collisions were applied.

Results:

1. The editor doesn’t crash.
2. The item is NOT pasted into the array.

After further testing, I found a set of steps to reproduce this 100%. I entered it as [JIRA UE-47655](https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-47655) and our developers will be investigating further. Follow that link to monitor the status of the report.
