copying from more than one layer
On Macbook, Big Sur OS, Illustrator V25.2.1, CC.
Illustrator only copies from one layer when objects from multiple layers are selected. Attached is a video where I select paths from two layers and attempt the methods; ALT+Drag, Transform-COPY, and CMD-C + CMD-F to copy the desired objects.
Each time illustrator selects the paths I want, but only ever copies the paths from one layer. Even when using transform, illustrator previews all the paths, but when I choose COPY, it then reverses and only copies the top layer.

This looks painful and wrong.
I can test the file on 25.2.1 Windows for you to see if it happens. So far I tried to replicate the scenario and it worked fine for me, both Alt+dragging and Copy via Move dialogue. -

But the site won't let me post with the video attached.
