Copy paste acts weird

Hi guys,

If I try to copy an element from a frame, far away from that frame on the main canvas, that element is still gonna get copied inside that parent frame. What’s the point? If I drag the page miles away from the parent frame, my intention is probably copying that element somewhere else, not in the same frame, no?

 

edit: I can’t tell you how annoying and illogical this is. Is it a bug? It didn’t work like that in the past, I know for sure. Or is it by design for some weird messed up reason?

Hey ​@Cristian_Banu, thanks for reaching out! 

This doesn’t sound like expected behaviour. I tried reproducing the copy-paste issue on my end (in the browser), and I was able to paste the element far away from the original frame. Here’s a quick screen recording: https://www.loom.com/share/06b58f1554b04ae9a88b6944f4fd092a?sid=d85d49b5-8174-4f9b-8d41-98343510cdc5 

Would you mind sharing a screen recording of what you’re seeing on your end? Also, is this happening in the desktop app, the browser, or both?
 

Thanks, 

Gayani
