Copy / Paste of Properties does not work anymore for vectors

Today I noticed that copy / paste of properties does not seem to work properly anymore for me.

Whenever I try to Option-CMD-C stroke properties from a vector, it shows no effect on the other vector item after pasting it using Option-CMD-V.
However it works with closed paths sometimes and fills are no problem at all.

Works:

  • Fills
  • Rectangle to rectangle strokes
  • Rectangle to ellipse strokes
  • Rectangle to line

Does not work anymore:

  • Ellipse to ellipse strokes (???)
  • Line to line
  • Vector to vector

This is blasting my workflow right now. Did anyone have the same experience?

PS: I am working a German keyboard but changing to English (US) didn’t help either.

Also noticing that for the shapes that style copy/paste does still work on, it often detaches the style and pastes the color as a raw hex code.

Hello guys, there is still an issue with the copy and paste on the web version. Only paste text in a situation where you copy a frame or component. if you are copying vectors or images, it does not paste at all. This is really frustrating.
