    Copy by Rotate Tool, Repeatable Bug
    OS: Windows 10
    Illustrator Version: 23.0.1

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. create a box or square
    2. activate the Rotate tool (R)
    3. click on any corner of the box to move the pivot
    4. begin rotation
    5. hold down ALT to initiate copy
    6. release mouse to end rotation and complete copy

    Expected Result:
    Copy of object created at rotation specified by tool.

    Actual Result:
    At this point, illustrator will not release the copy and end the rotation. Attempting to select off the tool will not be allowed, as if a modal dialog is up. The only way to regain control of the application is to attempt a force quit from the operating system level. This will force a save dialog, cancelling it will return focus to the application and allow the user to proceed.

    Workarounds attempted:
    Preference Folder removal and recreation.
    Reinstall and update.
    Disabling of GPU acceleration for Illustrator.

    None have any effect on the problem.
