This is a strange bug that keeps popping up for me:
I’m working on a document and copy / paste a symbol from 1 page to another in the same document (this isn’t cross-document pasting of symbols).
Normally, this works fine, but once in a while it triggers the “Importing Project Symbols” routine and creates an exact copy of my Project Symbols. The pasted symbol is from the new, 2nd Project Symbols.
Once this happens, any time I copy/paste a symbol from the original Project Symbols, this routine is triggered, only now it reports a conflict.
Other things:
-
This only seems to happen to relatively complex documents with lots of symbols.
-
Once it happens, it stays broken. Closing / reopening the file doesn’t work. Resaving the document doesn’t work.
I just discovered a workaround while writing this post:
- Delete all symbols from the “imported” Project Symbols
- Select all symbols from the original Project Symbols
- Drag them into the “imported” Project Symbols
Balsamiq thinks for a while, then the problem seems to be gone.
Hope this helps!
