Step and repeat Bug
Step and repeat is not working correctly.
If you have an object, whilst holding option, drag the object to a new position and release, the object is duplicated. This works correctly. If i then select Duplicate from the Edit menu, it should repeat the the last duplication. It does not! It uses the last step and repeat measurement. This is a bug.
This is using indesign 2019.
The bug is not in indesign 2018, it works correctly here

In Design 2020. Consistently steps and repeats randomly across the page rather than in a unified manner. The next time I try it works normally. But this bug has been problematic for years and never seems to get solved.
Similar step and repeat works perfectly in illustrator. -

Hi, i tried this on a second mac in the office and didn't have the same problem. I threw away all my indesign preferences and it fixed the issue. So something must have gone weird in the upgrade.
All good now
Thanks
