Can't copy break symbol and paste into Beta version

I’ve been experimenting with the Beta version, and just found that I can’t copy a Column Break symbol from the release version and paste into the Beta version. I don’t know if other break symbols (or other symbols/markers) are affected.

Also, I had to enable what’s shown below to allow styles to remain present from the release version into the Beta:

 


Any thoughts?

thanks

    The keyboard shortcut is Num Enter/Return. Why would you copy it? You cannot copy and paste a Return/Enter either, can you?

    Hi Mike - it’s not the only thing I’d like to copy/paste. Imagine a large block of content with a bunch of them; they’d all have to be re-entered.

    Currently, it works in the non-beta version when pasting into another non-beta document.
