P: Copying layers (and groups) moves them to another artboard

The OP reported a problem one of the the Duplicate Layer  and Duplicate Layers (plural) mechanism in an Artboard context. Those issues were fixed in 20.0.1

I was able to reproduce the problem with Command-C/Control-C followed by Command-V/Control-V. Unfortunately, this code path that was not made artboard-savvy; it was an oversight. FWIW, it is also broken in CC 2018, but in a different way. I've logged bug PS-27475 "Copy/Paste of layers (not duplicate layers) within Artboard does not work as expected".

You are correct that this is a different bug. It is specific to the copy/paste mechanism. There are a bunch of behaviors that are broken when copy-pasting, depending on the source selection and the destination selection at the time of pasting. I counted at least 5 failure modes. So, unfortunately, pretty much nothing works as expected when copying and pasting in combination with Artboards. To top things off, there is an obnoxious auto-scroll behavior which is unhelpful.

So. Bug logged. No ETA I can give. Thanks for the report, and apologies for the bug.

Hi sorry, I experience the bug when using ctrl+c, ctrl+v on groups.
Perhaps a different but related issue.

That link says this bug has been fixed, but it is not. It still occurs for me in 20.0.1

When you copy a layer via right-click in an Artboard (other than the 1st one). Let's say you're in Artboard #3. And you want to copy a layer into the same Artboard. It copies the layer onto Artboard #1.

I already let friends test it on their PC and Mac with their account. The have the same problem.

Photoshop 2019:  When I duplicate a shape layer by dragging the layer onto the Create New Layer button at the bottom of the layer panel, the duplicate layer appears in a different artboard rather than duplicating directly above its parent layer.  When I bring that duplicate layer back into its intended artboard, it is no longer in alignment with its parent shape.  This issue was not occurring in PS 2018.

Engineering is working a fix for this. Thanks.

Ah Thank you! That is exactly the Problem im facing.
Good to hear its allready fixed in Development Build.
