Duplicating layers and auto select the new ones. Something broke...

[dbDavideBoscolo]

Hi all,
when duplicating a bunch of layers I expect to have all the new ones selected. 

Have a look:

Please updated to 24.0.1 and see if the problem persists. There is a fix around layer selection in that release.

[dbDavideBoscolo]

Updated. It doesn't fix the problem. Please see here:

Do you need the project file?

[jenkmeister]

Sure, if you can share it, that'd be great. Thanks.

Thanks. I can duplicate the issue in your project but only when selecting a pre-comp and a shape layer and doing the duplication. If I select a solid and a pre-comp it selects correctly. Same with Shape and Solid. Is that the same experience for you?

[dbDavideBoscolo]

Solid/shape + pre-comp: depends if the solid/shape is on top or below. If above fine, below not working. 

Shape + Solid: fine.

It looks like there is an issue with the Precomp. The three precomps are instances of the same and I've used some master properties to change the text. So I guess there is where the issue is. If you swap those precomps wiith other precomps that don't have master properties, it all seems to work fine.

Can you install the latest version of After Effects and see if the issue persists?

Let us know. I am moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for now.

Thanks,
