I can usually select the artboard, hold ALT, and then simply drag it over to make a copy of the artboard and contents, but today all the sudden this does not work in any of my files. Now when I try to do the same thing it just gives me a blank artboard without the contents. Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks!

gtk123 Please contact Adobe support. Since this is not reproducible at our end we can only guess the reason. Adobe support will be able to look into your machine and look for possibilities like corrupt preference, interference from some third party plugin etc

Unfortunately, I have had much better luck asking for help on forums than getting help from Adobe on many issues.

Hi gtk123,
As suggested above, this seems to be a unique issue and the best way to get it fixed would be a one on one troubleshooting. Here's a link you can check for contacting the support: Contact Support

Iam experiencing the same issue.
Did you ever manage to figure out a solution for this?

Very odd but it just started working again the next day. Possibly just
opening and closing the program or shutting down computer helped?

I am surprised to learn that this discussion was from 2017, because I have also just begun experiencing this exact same issue! Still no solution or ability to reproduce the issue, Adobe?

Hi there,
Sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind sharing version of Illustrator and OS? Does it happen with a specific document or all?
We'd also appreciate if you can share a small video of this workflow so that we can understand your issue better and help accordingly. Looking forward to your response.
Regards,

I just had this issue. Could copy artboards, but the content wouldn't follow...
I deleted my preferences file from the preferences main menu. Restarted. Worked like it should again.

How did you delete your preference file? I'm on a windows computer currently, I feel like I could find this easier when I was on my Mac! Thanks!

Rather than deleting it, rename the preferences folder.
