After selecting a whole object, when I try moving it translating it, with copy off, the object gets copied regardless of what I do. Is this a bug?

Hi Aldo, welcome to the forum!

It shouldn’t work that way and this is strange. Please can you upload a short screen recording showing this to help us better understand the issue. Thanks!!
