"Duplicate" function overwrites user clipboard
Surely the whole point of providing a duplication feature is to avoid having to use the native clipboard in Windows?
Sure, it is analogous (meaning comparable in certain respects) - it achieves the same goal but should not work the same way "under the hood". The implementation seems hacky.
I'd definitely be interested to hear other's opinion on whether this is expected behaviour to them in a modern application.
After-thought: this would only be expected behaviour if the button was called "Duplicate item and reset my clipboard for no apparent reason".

I spoke with the engineers about this in the early days of storyline and it is expected behaviour.
I think the clipboard should be restored, but it isn't and I have adjusted my workflow so it doesn't bite me.
