Stays "Not Responding" when copying things.

[betachromatic]

Hello,

Just wanted to report the following bug: Sometimes when I try to copy something the progam hangs and stay in Not Responding state. The last time it happened was copying while selecting two objects from the layers panel. While this last time it eventually got unstuck, it took around a minute or two to do so. This problem is not EVERY time I try to copy/paste something but sometimes, frequent enough to be annoying and sometimes I just have to force quit it (thankfully haven't lost my progress, it always seems to be able to recover which is good). I took screenshots to illustrate the problem, you can see the tools being stretched (I use them non-docked) while this is happening.

Update:

Seems to do it when I'm copying a group with a masked object inside of it, it happens every single time I try to copy it. Thankfully it unfreezes and I can continue but it's quite annoying.

Hi @betachromatic,

Sorry for the delayed reply. 

Can you please attach a sample file so we can have look?

Thanks,

Gabe.

Hey @GabrielM

Don't worry, here is a file that I'm able to reproduce the problem everytime, all you have to do is try to copy the layer that says "COPY THIS".

Something that might be important is the fact that this project was originally imported from Illustrator and this layer's effects were converted from that.

I've managed to replicate this and logged it with our developers.
