In this screenshot, compiling has replaced a yellow circle with a black box object. Did it several times, the bug occurs randomly but fairly often, shouldn't take long to reproduce.

I tried creating a new map and just adding an object on an empty turf, compiling, over and over, but with no troubles. Can you show me the process in more detail, like with a concrete set of steps to follow or an animation or something like that?

Each .dmm is a step Open 12.dmm, fill the whole map with /obj/type6 (like this: https://imgur.com/a/oxhR9) and compile. 13.dmm is the result. | |
Thank you. I'll see what I can find.

Lummox JR resolved issue with message:
The map editor's new code for preserving symbols didn't function correctly in some cases, mangling maps during save. | |
Good find. There's a workaround for this, which is to save as a new file; however the symbols are not preserved, and may switch around unexpectedly.
