Copying and pasting across files can make the component act weird

This problem seems to have always existed. Every time I try to copy my files (components) into another design file, they get distorted or don’t look the way they originally did. This is especially obvious when working across teams. At one point, someone mentioned it seemed to be fixed, but now it’s happening again. What’s going on? I’m really annoyed.

Hi, I opened my email and didn’t see any new messages, but for some reason it’s working again now. Something similar has happened before—it works for a while and then stops working again.
