Often, simply quitting and reopening the app can fix the issue. If that doesn’t do the trick, restarting your computer might help.

UPDATE: after restartng my computer, now it’s working 🤷
I came to report the same thing. I tested right alt with other apps and it works there. Right-alt-drag doesn’t duplicate items anymore, where as left-alt-drag does.
