Hidden objects wrongly get sent to back when duplicating artboards
When I alt-drag to duplicate an artboard where I have hidden an object on the artboard, it moves the hidden object(s) to the back. The bug doesn't work if the hidden object is all the way in front.
This is very frustrating, as I frequently hide objects and duplicate artboards, and it's causing everything to suddenly be out of order.
To replicate problem
- create a few stacked shapes in an artboard
- hide one of the objects (not the top object)
- with the artboard tool, alt-drag to duplicate the whole artboard
- show all objects
- you will see that the formerly hidden object in the original artboard has now been moved behind everything, no longer in the place it once was.

Interesting... The order of the hidden object stays correct... but for the duplicate artboard’s objects. So Ai in fact tries to move/copy the objects of the original artboard to the new position and then actually creates duplicates for the original artboard!
What a cheap trick :/Confirmed, upvoted. Good find!
