Exploding Sketch Blocks During Copy/Paste

Has anyone ran into an issue of sketch blocks messing up when being copy/pasted?

 

The example below:

The sketch block as it exists.

BeforeBefore

The sketch block as it exists AFTER simply copy/pasting the BLOCK using the browser. Look how the splines are messed up. If you try doing anything with the sketch (scale, rotate, etc.) it will cause the sketch lines to jump to match the splines and mess up the drawing.

 

After - Note the splinesAfter - Note the splines

After & following modification of the blockAfter & following modification of the block

Note that if I copy the sketch and sketch lines, things are fine. So that is the current work around. Would be nice to be able to use the sketch block functionality to copy things as that is what one would assume it's there for...

Hello @MechMachineMan,

It looks incorrect to me, would you mind share the sample data to me for a better understanding?

Thanks!
