Dropping lifted objects behind obstructions
Is it just me, or did this change lately? You can't reliably drop lifted objects where you want them anymore if it's behind a tree or a house or whatever. Instead of dropping where you've clicked, instead your character will try to drop the object as close to the center of the obstruction as possible.

Re: Dropping lifted objects behind obstructions
It's been like this for as far as I know. Basically when you click on the object (tree, rock, house) it focuses your character on that object, instead of the space behind the object that you're trying to direct him too. Basically you'll just have to use xray as a workaround.

Xray didn't prevent it, unfortunately.
It hasn't always been like this-- I played a bit back in World 3 and could hide stuff behind any object exactly where I pointed my cursor to. Now it's like the object in the foreground is 'stealing focus' of the clicks.

He's right about this, but I shrugged it off.
It IS slightly annoying however.
