Cmd + Alt clicking windows weirdness / tip

I have an old project that has become "live" again and I am going through the process of updating all the old AC6.5 and AC 7.0 Windows to AC 9.0 Windows.

The reason for the post is that I have noticed this weird behaviour....

Some of the windows (but not all) in walls which are perpendicular to the bottom of the screen will not pick up the parameters by Cmd + Alt clicking them. But if you rotate the wall to be parrallel with the bottom of the screen it works! crazy or what?

Interestingly I'm not getting the same problem with Doors

Did you know if you command+option click the name of an alternate door or window while in the settings dialogue all common parameter will be transfered. Particularly usefule to kepp the A & B values.

but you need to have both old and new libraries loaded simultaneous whilst you syringe the settings in the dialogue box . . . once you're complete you can lose the old library . . .

Yup that's what I was doing but with some windows it doesn't work unless I rotate the wall round to the horizontal first
