Title BAD BEHAVIOUR in Plus button -- not just incorrect -- BAD
Description

On the Objects tab:
1) Add a few objects
2) Select one of the objects
3) Click the Plus button below the list to add a new object
4) Type in a common object name such as M92
The dialog automatically searches and says something like "M occurs in 6 catalogs"
The lower left button changes to "Best"
5) Click "best", the object is added at the bottom of the list as expected.
6) Select some object again.
7) Repeat steps 3 & 4
8) This time, instead of clicking best, click "All...", the 4th button from the left
9) a window comes up showing all the objects found.
Choose ONE object, then click "add selected"
10) A mesasge box comes up, with the message "Really replace the 1 selected objects?"
11) Click "Yes" (not understanding what object would be replaced, since you are adding an object.)
THE OBJECT SELECTED ON THE PLAN OBJECT LIST IS REPLACED WITH THE FOUND OBJECT
This is BAD BEHAVIOUR. I clicked the ADD (+) button, not some replace button. Add should always add, no matter how you get there.

Resolution

Fixed. No replacing of selected objects will now happen. Also any messages about duplicate objects are phrased in more understandable (sic) English.
