Alt+Drag suddenly rearranges layer positions to the front
Latest update suddenly puts all duplicated items via Alt+Drag together in the layer order - instead of their original positions (!). So it changes the layer position they had (in front / behind other things).
As in other CC programs - when you Alt+Drag several objects, they should always duplicate in the same positions of the layer as they were before - not put themselves in front of everything. So whatever is behind or in front of another object, should duplicate identically. This is the only work-around to a copy + paste that throws in everything on top. But this suddenly stopped working and I have to re-send everything I used to have in the back, to the back. Just did the same thing in InDesign and it behaves fine over there - only Illustrator has this bug. Alt-Drag should never change the order/position the objects have within a layer, please fix this.

OK, I work in Illustrator daily as a designer since over 10 years and somehow can't imagine that it's always behaved this way... It's always been THE work-around for copy paste to ensure that stuff stays where it is when duplicated.
I don't know what photoshop does but its primary function isn't building complex graphics so I'm more eager to address this for Illustrator. I can hardly imagine this being the optimal way for Alt+Drag to work - then you might as well just use the copy/paste functionalities? Thanks for forwarding the thread!
