forking a definition doesn't change the scope to match that of the source definition

forking a definition leaves the user's scope setting unchanged -- while it'd be sort of be unintuitive to leave it changed after adding the new definition, I expect my new definition to be posted to the same scope as the source definition, unless I manually change it. I'm not exactly sure how this could/should be fixed (add a separate "post to scope" field for posting, maybe?)

Hi, thanks for filing an issue for this.

I’m not actually convinced pulling the scope from under the user’s feet is the right choice – for example, when mass-translating. For this reason I’m going to leave the issue open for the time being. Toadua should probably get a settings menu to configure these kinds of things, and/or a dropdown so that actions like “fork with scope” don’t take up space and distract the casual user. (I can’t say when that is going to happen.)
