[1.0.7.6] CMD clone creates extra copies of dragged object -- bug?


Recommended Posts

In the new 1.7.0.6 beta, when I CMD drag on an object to clone it, as soon as I release the mouse button 2 or 3 copies of the original are added to the Layers panel, all of them overlaying the location of the original. This is in addition to the duplicate created at the new, dragged to location.

The History panel shows just one "Duplicate and transform" step, & if I move back one step or use CMD+Z to 'undo' this, the extra copies remain. In fact, even if I move the history slider all the way to the left, which should result in an empty document, the extra copies are still there.

This does not happen with an option drag, just a command drag.

A known bug already reported.

If you switch off snapping it should work OK

Thanks. I did a quick scan of this forum but did not find the report. FWIW, it seems to be "Snap to bounding boxes" option that triggers it -- has that already been reported?

Yeah, I know that. What I meant was if it had already been reported in the bug report (that I still can't find). Got a link to that handy?

Some bugs are cross platform.  You should search all forums

Which one, there are lots of reports, are you sure your Forum Search Button is working OK

Has the forum search engine ever worked OK?

Why? There are separate forums for the Mac & Windows betas, so it is not unreasonable to expect that a bug that exists on both should be reported on both.

True, but it's not unreasonable to expect that the Devs/Support would cross check any reported bugs on all platforms anyway

They might, but as a user if I searched all the forums I would find lots of bug reports that are not cross-platform, & even when they are I rarely see any indication of that.

Besides which, if you searched the Windows forums for bugs related to use of the Cmd key modifier you probably wouldn’t come up with very much. stirthepot.gif
