Trying to duplicate a shape using the following actions in Windows  or Chromebook:

  1. Move mouse to point to shape. Left click to select.
  2. While holding left mouse button, drag shape some distance, then press Alt key briefly to cause shape to be copied.
  3. Move mouse to desired location of duplicate shape.
  4. Release left mouse button.

Problem: upon release of left mouse button, shape position will jump away from last displayed position.

Hi @SNicholson

In order to duplicate an existing shape on PC, there is the following keyboard-mouse key combination: Ctrl-Shift, then click and drag the shape. 

Hope this helps!
