It's been a while (six months?) since I've actually worked in the
editor, but I'm pretty sure you need to press at least one key to have
an object fall to the ground.
I'm mostly sure because before I realized this, my chests were higher
than those on a cornfed cheerleader's.
I've also spotted floating flora while playing the xbox version, so
the professionals have missed this at times as well.
