Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new project
- Go to Edit > Project Settings > UI Toolkit
- Enable the "Enable in-scene UI Authoring" property
- In the Hierarchy, right-click > UI Toolkit > Panel Renderer
- Select the created Panel Renderer and press CTRL+S/CMD+S to copy
- Press CTRL+V/CMD+V three times
- Observe the placement of the third duplicated Panel Renderer
Actual results: The 3rd duplicate (and each one after) is inserted between "Main Camera" and "Directional Light"
Expected results: All duplicates should be inserted directly below
Reproducible with versions: 6000.6.0b5, 6000.7.0a3
Can’t test with versions: 6000.3.20f1, 6000.5.5f1 (no "Enable in-scene UI Authoring" property)
Tested on (OS): macOS 26.5
Notes:
- Only reproduces with UI Authoring enabled
- Each subsequent duplicate after the 4th also lands in the same wrong position (between Main Camera and Directional Light), not progressively further down or back at the bottom
- Saving the scene moves the misplaced duplicate(s) back to the correct position at the bottom of the Hierarchy
