Every time I try to copy and paste an object in a layout the app freezes.  If I wait long enough (about 20-30 secs) it will eventually copy the object and I can continue working.  I am not copying large, complex objects.  These are small and simple objects like generic text, callouts, etc.  Seems like a bug in the software.  I am using ver. 3.2.2.

I have the same issue. Using v3.5.2. It freezes when using the copy keyboard shortcut or when right-clicking and copying a layer view the pop-up menu.

Not just layouts; layers, attribute table values, records in attribute table, fields from fields view. Not just control C but also right click, copy (although so happy Pro added this since it didn't used to) AND from clipboard on the ribbon.  Looking forward to this fix for ArcGIS Slo 🙂

I have been experiencing the same issue, in Win11 Pro 3.6.2 (newly upgraded).  As soon as I ctrl-C and ctrl-V to copy paste a feature, the feature does copy, but the UI loses critical functionality.  I can no longer pan the map with the mouse (although I can still zoom with wheel), I can't perform any action in the map that involves click-and-drag, such as move a feature or rotate a feature.  And when I exit the application later, a brief message appears saying "copying feature" just before the application closes.

I am still experiencing this issue in 3.6.2 (I know that I'm probable due for an update, but most companies don't update software with each release as versions must be tested across the company before company-wide implementation). I, however, DO sometimes see this issue in mapview, especiallly if I'm doing something like copying an expression or label properties from one class to another. It is especially bad when copying something like a TEXT ELEMENT (like my map title, in order to preserve placement and all similarities across layouts as sometimes edits require several layouts to be updated uniformly) from one layout to another.  Does anyone know if this something ESRI is working on?
