The issue I’m going to describe is outwardly quite similar to what has already been reported in Floating menu: copy/paste section properties , but since that thread is 1+ year old and presumably the issue was resolved, I decided to open a new thread rather than reviving it. I hope that’s not a problem.**
Describe the bug**
Let me apologise beforehand that it’s not going to be concise as per the guide recommends. It’s simply beyond my capabilities to describe this problem and keep it short yet unambiguous.**
**
In Floating Menu Configuration, when I copy properties of a menu item via Copy Section Properties button (which is located to the right of each section’s title) and paste it to another item via Cmd+V, some properties from other sections are copy/pasted together with the intended ones. It seems to be somehow tied to the visibility status of the sections (i.e. whether they are expanded or collapsed.) To recreate:
-
Create a new Floating Menu. Let’s use Default Menu Template as our template. (Picture 1)
-
Let’s edit some property of Item 1.
Min WidthinItem Sizeshould do for our example. (Picture 2) -
Copy properties in
Item Sizesection via the button. -
Select Item 2 and press Cmd+V.
-
Aside from
Item Size(which is the intended target),Item Appearance(i.e. button text) andItem Namehave also been pasted. (Picture 3) -
For some additional fooling around, let’s go back to the original Item 1 and copy Section Properties of the
Backgroundsection via the corresponding button. -
Select Item 3 and press Cmd+V.
-
Aside from
Background(which is the intended target),Item Appearance,Item Name, andItem Sizehave also been pasted. -
To further investigate, let’s create a new menu item.
-
Go back to Item 1 and collapse the
Item Sizesection by clicking its title. -
Now copy Section Properties of the
Backgroundsection, just as we did in Step 6. -
Select New Item and press Cmd+V, THEN click
Item Sizeto expand. -
We can see that, again,
Item AppearanceandItem Nameare unintentionally copy/pasted, butItem Sizeis unchanged this time. -
Press Cmd+V again.
Item Sizeis still unaffected. From this, it can be deduced that Copy Section Properties button might be copying properties that are visible when it is clicked (this may also explainItem AppearanceandItem Namealways being copied, as they are always visible.)

Additional information (e.g. crash logs, related issues, etc.):
In the course of the above experiment, I also found that the Copy Section Properties button for the Text Color, Scale & Offsets section doesn’t seem to do anything.
Thanks, and apologies again for the lengthy and unorganised post.
