It sure does. but I expect one copy, not two. Examples: If I select the artboard tool and select an artboard with a multi-layered layout on it, then hold the option key (Mac) and drag the artboard where I want it, it duplicates the artboard AND a duplicate of the layout not with an artboard behind it. The second duplicate layout moves in the opposite direction that the duplicate artboard is dragged. Sometimes the duplicating action won't even duplicate at all and simple move the artboart. Puzzling. If I select a number of elements, hold option while dragging them to where I want it duplicated, it makes two copies, instead of one as in the past. See screen captutes of when a [simple] layout and artboard are duplicated with the artboard tool, select, option+drag action. This hasn't happened until the past couple of closely spaced upgrades. Oddly, if I select a single element, or a single blank artboard and perform the same action, it duplicates it once, as expected, before the latest two Illustrator upgrades.

I'm experiencing duplication issues as well. With an item or artboard selected, holding the option key while dragging it to where I want it generates a second copy in addition to the new one. The farther I drag the item away from the original, the greater the space becomes between the [two] copies. Though, selection a single item or empty artboard and using the option key to duplicate while dragging works as it did before the latest upgrades. This it truly disruptive to workflow now. Please address and fix this bug, Adobe.
