    I had the same issue and realized it's going to be a software conflict with a clipboard utility.

    In my case it was Raycast, the Clipboard History plugin. Disabling it solved the problem. (Interestingly this affected Illustrator 2024 but not 2023.)

    Clipy is another program that causes this to happen. Simply add Illustrator to the exclude list in Clipy's settings.

    I am suggesting that Global color swatches could be the root cause of the problem. Your vector symbols contain colors. If those colors were "Global", and they were born in a color profile different than what your current document is using, then you can expect duplication in anything using that swatch — be it a paragraph style, graphic style, or symbol.

    This seems to happen sometimes, but not always, even in the same document. I just found one cause: color. If your style is using a "Global" color, copy/paste duplicates. If you convert the color to show its values, and redefine the style, copy/paste no longer causes duplicates.

    I have experienced a similar problem regarding copy/pasting objects which have no style. The color swatch is copied back into the document as a different color, prompting you to choose what to do: Merge Swatch or Add Swatch. So the core of this bug is likely color swatches.

    I would give the developers the further hint that this occurs when creating a global color swatch in a CMYK document, adding the swatch to a CC Library, and using that color again in an RGB document. At least that is what I am doing which seems to cause this issue.

    One cause could be color. If your style is using a "Global" color that was originally made in a CMYK document, and re-used via CC Library in an RGB document, this color is conflicting with itself every time it's copied back in, hence duplicates in Styles. If you convert the color to show its values, and redefine the style, copy/paste no longer causes duplicates.

    This needs to be fixed. The PDF specification allows for a much larger canvas size. Adobe's limit is arbitrary. Affinity Publisher is able to work with larger sizes. And thanks to this issue, I may become a customer..
