 - Metatiles are always rendered accurately with 3 layers, and the unused layer is not assumed to be transparent.
 - `object_event_graphics_info.h` can now be parsed correctly if it uses structs with attributes.
+- The selection is no longer reset when pasting events. The newly pasted events are selected instead.
 - Palette editor ui is updated a bit to allow hex and rgb value input.
