Can't copy and paste images as background fill anymore

Since the last update, it’s impossible to copy and paste the image fill, into another component.

I’m working with Auto Layout and I used to be able to select the fill > copy this > open another component > select the fill > paste.

This doesn’t work anymore. It’s a feature I use all the time. Does anybody else experience this?

    Hi everyone, quick update from our side: We’ve been in touch with the engineering team, and they’ve pushed a fix to production that should resolve this issue. ✅

    💡 If you haven’t already, try giving the tab you’re working in a quick refresh → copy/paste functionality should now behave as expected.

    Thanks again for your patience while we worked to get this resolved. Let us know how it goes, and if any questions remain.

    I’m also experiencing this issue and use the feature at least 50 time a day so not great.

          Our team also uses this feature on a day-to-day basis. Our workflow has slowed down as a result of not having access to this ability anymore. Figma team please bring this back!

            It still works but in a different way. Instead going into the fill panel and copy/paste, select the thumbnail by clicking anywhere near the fill preview. It will turn blue, and you’ll be able to copy or paste the image by pressing Cmd+C/V or Ctrl+C/V. That way now you can copy/paste gradients too.

                  This is absolutely bricking my productivity right now. I can’t begin to describe how frustrating it is. It works like every 25 tries and doesn’t even work if I use the menu!
