When I copy a sprite and paste it (whether it be to the same GO or a different one), the copied sprite appears sharper in the editor, but not in-game.

Steps to reproduce:

- Make a GO with a sprite in it, assign it an image and all that
- Copy that sprite and paste it into a GO (same or different one)

Here’s what it looks like in the editor:

Here’s what it looks like in-game:
