Using Illustrator “Paste In Front” creates a Find window on the Desktop
Hi;
I have recently begun having a paste in front (⌘F) issue in AI 2020.
For DECADES I have been able to select an item and copy (⌘C) then paste in front (⌘F) to create a copy of the selection exactly on top that I can then step/move as needed.
I have been doing this in the Illustrator 2020 application for years.
Now when I’m in Illustrator and I hit the paste in front (⌘F), it takes me directly to the desktop and creates a Find window. (And Does Not Paste In Front!)
I can use “Paste In Front” in the Edit pull down menu in Illustrator, just not the command key which I use constantly for this.
Please tell me how to fix this.
Thanks.

It feels like the Illustrator window is not in focus when you press the hotkey and it goes to OS... and it does what it should. Are you sure the window is focused?
If it just started to behave like this, and you are still on 2020, and it never used to behave like this, I assume this is not Ai’s fault...
