I've noticed when I copy multiple blocks, either manually selecting multiple blocks or going to page > copy all content, it pastes in duplicates of each block?

This has happened on two different domains?

Hi Ian,

I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean.

Are you trying to duplicate a block layout on another page?

Any chance you can provide any screen recording of this occurrence?

Sure, I’ll do that shortly.

Thanks David.

Hi Ian & David.

I can replicate this. It only occurs on multiple container blocks as David mentioned on his topic.

I'll keep this open and do more tests to check what can be done.

We'll keep you posted. :D

Ok, thanks Elvin.

After doing a few tests. I believe this is a WordPress core block bug.

I've tested this on a WordPress default theme w/ all plugins disabled and it still occurs.

For now, a workaround would be wrapping everything in 1 container when you copy all the content.

Thanks Elvin,

I had assumed it was core - thanks for checking it out.
It is no big deal for me, just have to be aware of it!
