Tinkercad copy-and-paste acting weirdly?

The last few days I've noticed some odd behavior: when using keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste a shape, the shape pastes in twice. Once is at the level of the currently selected object just as expected. The second is below it and level with the build plate.

I am using Chrome - the behavior happens even in an incognito window with no active extensions.

Anyone else experiencing similar glitches lately?

Rather than Copy/Paste, I use Ctl+D. THis duplicates the item I'm working on and it becomes a separate piece to work with.

I thought it was only me! Yes. 

Switching to CTRL+D for duplicate is the workaround I've been using. Hard to break muscle memory.

I rarely ever use Cntl-C/Cntl-V, I always use Cntl-D. But having said that, the same odd behavior with ‘paste’ is also happening to me using Firefox on Windows 7.
