Unable to Duplicate, Copy, Paste, Ungroup, Drawing new objects in XD on a specific file.

Question

I can not duplicate itesm on an Artboard. Command D does nothing, click and drag holding down options duplicates the object as long as I am holding down the option key — when I release it, the duplicated object disappears. Copy and paste also produce no results. With the Layers panel I see these objects briefly appear at the top most layer and then disappear. In troubleshooting, I thought that because the oibjects were grouped (not components) that it might be an issue with groups. It was then that I realized ungrouping objects no longer worked either. In trying to test an ungrouped object, I drew a new one and now that disappears as soon as I release my mouse as well. 
 
In short, the bulk of the useful features in XD are now broken and useless. I restarted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled XD and the proble persists.

The solutiuon was to download the file as a local file and reupload it as a Cloud doc. That broke all the links my client had to the document, but at least we have a document that now works.

I'd still like to know more about what happened here, but also have work to do… so, yeah. That's a bummer that I had to go through this hassle but I also know sometimes code just does not work the way you expect it to.

Update: This seems to be the problem with one file only (…so far. Another file worked fine).
