@Sarah_Lubeck Two additional questions:

1. By chance, were you holding down ‘alt’ and then clicking + dragging from the object? It’s a [keyboard shortcut](https://community.bluescape.com/t/keyboard-shortcuts/107) for duplicating.
2. When you click an object, are you only clicking it once, and then it duplicates, or are you interacting with the object’s menu at all?
