Hello,

1. I put an Ancestral staff item on the ground in my map. When I save and test the map the item gets automatically deleted from both the game and in the World Editor!
2. I put an Engraved scale item in an inventory of a building (edited Human farm building owned by enemy computer AI pink) that has the ability "Inventory (Hero)". When I test the map in World Editor the item appears in inventory. The issue is that when you play the map by hosting a lobby and playing with other players then the item disappears from the inventory at the start of the map. I've also put an Orb of frost in the inventory and it doesn't disappear.

Any ideas how to fix please? I use "Map Options->Game data set" setting "Melee (Latest Patch)".

I have more information regarding issue number 1: So when you place an item on the ground, then save the map in World Editor. Close World Editor and then open the map in World Editor again. Then an error message will appear for each item: "Invalid object ID:" . The following items have this bug: Ancestral staff, Mindstaff, Staff of reanimation and all the "tiny altar/farm/blacksmith/barracks/lumber mill" items. There are probably more items that cannot be placed on the ground but those are the items I tested with. Game data set: Melee (Latest patch), Game data version: The Frozen throne. Jass/SD and HD. They don't disappear if you close the map in World Editor or when you test/run the map, the bug only happens when you close the entire World Editor and then open the map again.
Shall I report this to Blizzard as a bug on their U.S. forums?

Does it bug on pre-Reforged WC3 (TFT)?
I tried placing the items you mentioned (Ancestral Staff, Mindstaff, Staff of Reanimation) and didn't found an issue.
This is my edited melee map saved with 1.31 World Editor.

I have version 2.00d (6116) of World Editor, I launch it like I normally do from the Battlenet Desktop App. I don't use old versions of the game.

from your description of the problem it sounds to me like it's a model not showing error, i'm not sure if you've thought of it but if not try it because i think it's very likely

One more thing, make sure the item is not a consumable and auto use is enabled.
