Alex Becomes Uneditable in Level Editor After Playing Level #682

Begin editing a level. Drag Alex to see that he is editable. Begin playing the level with F8. Now press F8 to edit again. You no longer have the ability to drag Alex.

Obviously, it is now tracking the location of Alex in the played version of the level, but there is no reason it cannot allow the original Alex position to be moved. Most players will assume the game is broken.

I can reproduce this, and I can confirm the editor tracks the current X/Y coordinates rather than the StartX/StartY coordinates as hovering the mouse cursor over Alex' current position highlights the rectangle around his original starting position.

This won't get fixed in 2.1.0 (RC state), but in a subsequent release.
