For the past few months or so, both double clicking to select boy and trying to copy a body have been working about 50% of the time. The double clicking seems to be timing related, either the double click is too fast or too slow, and results in just the face being selected. For the copy button issue, it acts as if the copy button is not even there.

**Can’t double click to select body**

**Other menus similar the the ‘copy’ function, like pattern quantity. Can’t click**

I know this has been a topic before, but having a different way to select a body or copy instead of relying on these flaky buttons would be a huge help. There are times where I’m trying this 5, 6, or 7 times over trying to get the copy button to work. Zooming in, zooming out, changing the angle of the viewing. It’s quite maddening.
