Move/ copy: create copy - OK greyed out

Since I am not sure whether this is my own mistake or a bug, I'll post it here. Whenever I copy a component (while its parent is the active component) the OK button is greyed out when I check create copy. When I change the move type to any other translation than the default one and then change it back, the OK button becomes available. Note that despite the greyed out button, a copy has already been made and that I did not move the copied component. What is going wrong here?

Could you create a short screencast ?

Sure, here you go:

As long as the OK button is greyed out, I can't dismiss the panel by pressing enter.

Ahh, yes. I've come across this before as well.

If you need to create a copy in place then it's easiest to use CTRL-C and CTRL-V, but of course it would be nice if it would work trough the UI as well.

 

@jeff_strater would this be something relatively easy to change ?

@TrippyLighting - good observation.  Yes, this should be pretty easy - this is probably historical.  Previously, this same command was just Move.  And, for Move, no reason to enable OK if there has been no move done.  But, when we added the "Create Copy" checkbox, we should have changed that logic to include "or if Create Copy is checked".  Created FUS-55441 for this issue

Either this bug isn't fixed years later, or I've a very similar issue in that I can click on the parts list and move/copy without it being greyed, but if pick the action/button first copy is greyed out.
