Power BI Desktop, cannot copy and paste visual objects

[raquelfreud]

hello everyone, 

In Power BI desktop, I cannot copy/paste visual objects, nor in the same page, nor to another.

In previous versions, I could.

Someone knows what can I do?

@Shahid12523 , @FBergamaschi and @Anonymous :  Thank you so much!!
Your comments helped me!! Now I can copy/paste visuals in PBI desktop, as I could before these versions.

I showed your replies in the company where I work, and they installed the august version 2.146.1133.0 64-bit

• Update Power BI Desktop (bug in some recent builds).
• Try Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V or right-click → Copy Visual.
• Disable preview features in Options and restart.
• Clear cache folder or reinstall if still broken.
• If nothing works → use previous version (known bug).

Before the April version I could copy/paste visual objects.
