I've also noticed very different behaviors when an object is selected. In
theory, the behavior should be that it is not handled by the physics engine
when selected (at least that was the expected behavior for some time), but
my experience is that balls drop or roll more like i expect when selected,
and "incorrectly" when not selected.
