Copying objects from another cell often leaves the new one with ownerships you need to clean, so it's better to get them from the objects list.Will happen if you use an object from TR_Mainland.esp or a Data add-on that has the ESP format instead of ESM. When placing an object that comes from another ESP plugin (an object not defined in the active plugin, nor in an ESM master) into a cell, the object becomes dirtied in the active plugin when it's saved, and it will have to be cleaned manually.

You can clean or cancel specific edits to a cell in File->Data Files->(select the active plugin)->Details by pressing 'Delete' on reference edits to mark them as ignored (these changes aren't saved on their own - if that selected plugin wasn't loaded or wasn't the active one, it then needs to be loaded and saved for the changes to apply).If you click 'Save' or press the enter key, you dirty the ID (object definition) itself. Click 'Cancel' or press the escape key when editing the properties of an object in a cell (object instance), such as coordinates, scale, or owner extra data.There is also an option to Auto Save every X minutes in Edit->Preferences (but you won't need that because you already know you have to save often and copy your active file into a new file each time you save). If the CS crashes, make a copy of the backup file 'pukcab.bak' in Data Files BEFORE starting the CS again.To delete something that doesn't show you any delete option (global variables, sounds), use the 'Del' key.The search function in Edit->Find Text also looks at some object property fields.Object Window lists can be sorted by alphabetical order of a column by clicking on the tab at the top.You can do the same in most windows, dropdowns and ID lists (scripts, globals, sounds.). You can jump to an object in the Object Window by clicking on the list and pressing the first letters of its ID.

If you already cancelled error messages before with the CS still open, the other CS instance won't ask and will ignore errors too. You can also open the CS several times with AllowMultipleEditors=1 in Morrowind.ini.Be on the lookout for these messages when loading several files with dependences between them (dependences either visible or invisible, to ESM or ESP), which is frequent when working with TR, or when loading a plugin after it's modified with another application. If there are any other messages before the 'Previous string' messages, it's probably something important.
