solved Text Copy and Paste 2 instances behave as one???

[Alan R]

Have a text object.  Copy.  Select a different video track, position cursor, Paste.

I now got 2 text items identical in all respects.

Edit the newer one to change the text.

 Original changes as well 

Had wanted to duplicate the originals font/size/color and just edit the text to say something different.

Is this a bug or a feature?  And if the latter what makes it useful?

Is there a way of doing what I want, its just  so much faster, than starting a new text object and then changing all the setting to match the other one.

Thanks

Right-click the initial text clip in the bin

COPY

Right-click an open area of the bin

PASTE (Clip)

Change the text on the (1) clip and drop it onto the timeline

Do this as many times as needed

Thank you - just knew it had to be simple as it clearly is, just a different way of getting there,

Thank you Borate.
