Copying (Ctrl+C) a Radial repeated object with a drop shadow causes crash
Illustrator 29.61
I was able to re-create the crash with the following steps:
Create New Document.
Create 5 basic shapes, group them.
From the application menu, go to Object->Repeat->Radial and apply it to the group.
Double click on the original group to isolate it, from the appearance panel add a fx drop shadow to the grouped object.
Exit isolation.
select the repeated group and copy it
Crash.
Playing around with this, the crash only occurs when you add the drop shadow after applying the radial repeat. The easy solution is to apply the drop shadow prior to applying the repeat.
I did not test other fx options.

I can repeat the steps, but it doesn’t crash for me when I Copy.
However, if I don’t isolate the original group 'deep enough' (so that the repeated objects don’t become dim), apply the shadow to the group itself and not the objects, and then exit isolation and just move the repeat object, the calculation of the contents goes crazy — the object is drawn trimmed to the original bounds, and the duplicates expand... or it can work fine, but stop rendering a shadow. It’s quite broken...
So I’m upvoting this aspect.
