Pasted element move to old position even if out of view

Hello! I’ve noticed in Athens that when pasting an element from another artboard, it will paste itself to the position it had in the previous artboard, even if that position is out of the viewport. The viewport also moves to center that position. This is a new behaviour but I didn’t seem to catch that in the release notes.

Is that a new intended behaviour or is this a bug?

I’m fine with using the original position when it’s in view, but it’s a bit annoying when out of view. With that and some other things I find I might have to use the paste-over shortcut more going forwards.

We’ve had to rewrite copy-paste for the Athens update because Nested Frames changed things sooo much. Copy-paste is tricky in that there are so many situations to take care of; Generally people expect to paste in the same spot. They also expect to paste in the visible area, and they also expect things to tile when you paste repeatedly – viewport be damned.

We may have gotten some subtle details here wrong. It may well be bug, we’ll look into it, sorry :sweat_smile:

That’s a very fair point. There are many possibilities.
I got to say that pasting when tiling I would expect it to keep going beyond the viewport in that case :upside_down_face:

Thanks for the response.
