Sometimes I paste an object from another page onto the canvas and it will get pasted way off to the same coordinates it had in the origin page. It’s very confusing. I see that sometimes it will paste next to an existing frame which is good. But if I move the view, maybe to paste just before my current frames, I get teleported in the middle of nowhere. I expected it would paste in the middle of the current view.

Hey Gael,
Thanks for reporting this. I’ve been trying to reproduce the behavior but haven’t been able to. With copying and pasting there are a lot of variations that can affect the result.
Can you share a bit more details? A sample file with the two pages you pasted from and to and any other details you consider useful would be great for troubleshooting, I hope this is possible.
There’s a fail-safe option: ⌃click or right-click + Paste
This will paste the frame or shape where your cursor is.
Here’s also a quick demo of how I tried to reproduce the issue:
Hey Gael, thanks so much for the video and demo file! 
I can see now what’s happening: when you paste frames from one page to another, the pasted frame keeps the coordinates of the original one, regardless of your viewport.
That’s why the new frame ends up in a seemingly distant location: the coordinates where you copied from are X:10000 – Y:10000.
I’ll pass this to the team so they can look into it.
In the meantime, you can get a predictable paste position with these methods:
- ⌃click + Paste
- Select a frame + Paste → this will paste the new frame next to your selection
