Symbols copy/paste breaks link to symbols
Illustrator´s symbol function has been buggy for as long as I can remember. 2023 is no exception.

Symbols and fill & strokes
In Illustrator 26 (Mac, Big Sur 11.6.1), Symbols (static) now accept fill and stroke properties with the symbol selected (not editing the symbol). Traditionally, they have not been accepting any fill or stroke properties as those are defined within the symbol. These are not dynamic symbols.

Copying text inside a symbol group copies all text in that symbol to the clipboard
When I copy selected text inside a symbol it copies ALL the text in that symbol. It doesn't matter if the text is in the same instance or in a completely different one. If it is text and inside the symbol it will get copied. When I then paste the text that I think I copied it pastes everything.

Breaking link of scaled Symbol with "Scale strokes and effects" off will scale Symbol appearance back to original.
Illustrator CC 2018
Windows 10I have put a Symbol on my Artboard, and scaled it to 50% of its original size.
I want to break its link, and maintain its proportional appearance (i.e. stroke width half of original).
If "Scale strokes and effects" is off, stroke sizes are doubled (back to original value). You have to tick it on for it to work as expected.Is this a bug or a feature?
In the attached image, to the left is the Symbol (at 50% scale) broken with tick on, to the right off.

Dynamic symbols automatically expands
When placing a dynamic symbol on an artboard, then re-opening the document it becomes "expanded" — the link to symbol gets broken. This only occurs with dynamic symbols.
