What occurred?

The video seems to show lots of moves and move-copying. Some of the move operations work and others don’t. Is it the ones that don’t that you refer to?

More detail please.

Thanks for the reply.  
The method I mean Ctrl+move and after “/value” or “\*value”.  
Some time ago, when i typed different values for example “/5” and right after “/6” it wouldn’t keep the first copies. But now as you can see it does keep the copies.

That’s not the normal behaviour and I can’t reproduce it. Have you installed plugins or extensions lately that interfere with the move tool?

Have you set up new shortcut keys up for preserved characters like /, x or \* ?  
These might interfere with +Ctrl modifiers in Move or Rotate…  
Also is your keyboard entirely blameless - e.g. when you type / is that key sticking or repeating ?  
What repeat-settings does your keyboard have?  
Have you accidentally enabled filter-keys or sticky-keys etc?

Well i would never figure out. I have assigned this symbol ` and m as move keys. The first one is right before the 1 number key so it helps me a lot. removed the shortcut closed the app and now everything works just fine. Thanks mate!
