[ID-4254090]Drag-duplicating an object with Alt key pressed does not duplicate, if moving on a separate page
If I try to duplicate an object to another page, across the pasteboard border, by holding the Alt key and dragging with mouse, the object only moves there. If I want to duplicate an object to another page, I have to first duplicate it on the same page and then move it to another page.
However, as that is unintuitive, I still constantly try to duplicate an object across the page border, leading me to undo back after I find out the object didn't actually duplicate, but instead I have moved the original object (and oftentimes edited it a lot already).
As I find no particular reason why the duplicate shouldn't work across two pages, I believe this is a bug, or at least an oversight.

For me it's only happening in Indesign (I typically only use Indesign and Illustrator so not sure of other Adobe programs)

Same problem trying to duplicate pages or master pages. Seems the modifier keys simply aren't being recognized (at least onMacOS High Sierra).

Holding the Option key while click & dragging on an object no longer duplicates the object – just drags the original/target object.
