Pages and Page Templates

• Changing LayoutControl properties not applied when publish the page (FP).

• Duplicate page results in insufficient permissions error.
• "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when you duplicate a page.
• Converting a Standard Page to Group and then back to Standard breaks the pages grid.
