Crash when pasting

[davpacjr]

NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT ATTACH A SEQUENCE THAT DEMONSTRATES YOUR PROBLEM THEN THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY YOUR ISSUE WILL JUST BE CLOSED AND NOT INVESTIGATED.

Program crashes when pasting IN WINDOWS 11 When you select an object in the layout and press Control C and then control v the item pastes just fine. BUT if you select the object, and do a control C. Then just click in the layout so nothing is selected and press control V you will then crash the program.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: (and/or link to a short video showing the problem with audio track describing what you are doing)

1. Go to layout
2. Click on any item in the layout
3. Press Control C to copy
4. Deselect the item you just copied
5. Now press Control V to paste that item
6. The program will crash

Expected behavior I would expect that even though the item is not selected because it is copied it would be pasted on the layout

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Yup....looks like the code that was added to create aliases is trying to use the selected object to figure out what was copied....big no no.

The groups from the source model are going to need to be saved with the CopyData if needed when pasting.

It was easier to fix than I thought. Just needed to grab the name from the source data.
