Alt + Drag in Layers Panel - Alt State Remains After Alt Release and Mouse Release - Can't Enter Values in Design Panel

When using Alt + Drag in the layers panel to create a duplicate object, the ‘alt state’ remains after alt release and mouse release. So, when one then hovers the cursor over anything in the design panel, such as width, opacity, padding, etc. the cursor becomes a horizontal double arrow and clicking in any of the input fields in the design panel to enter a value is fruitless. One needs to hit Alt again to reset/clear the ‘frozen’ alt state. This started I would say a few weeks ago. It’s a bit similar to what I and some others were reporting just recently regarding clicking on the visibility icons in the layers panel, or even the lock icon, and on mouse release the app would still behave as if it were in the mousedown state and any layers that the cursor hovered over would immediately get lock toggled or visibility toggled. This is somewhat similar, a sticky alt state remains after alt + drag and release on keyboard and mouse. Thank you for your time.

Hey ​@speedcakes42 👋 Thanks for flagging this one. Would you be able to share a link to the file and a not-zoomed-in screen recording of the issue happening. It sounds like you can repro this one. No need to share here, I just want to make sure we have those artifacts available and I can get this open as a support ticket. Thanks! — Jaycee

If not sharing here, then where should those artifacts be shared?
