'Bad' AI file sent, I'll check the text issue as you mentioned it.

@Igull Send what you want to send of course - I send even the issues with one file that seem like an anomaly, because even if it's a rare issue for me, it still could be something that affects another user. I have clients who inadvertently send me plenty of files with issues for me to work with and then I turn around and test in VS and send along to improve what it can handle!

Yes, you're right, but it may be common elsewhere and might help others at some point, thanks for reminding me
Me being selfish is of no help

I use Illustrator CS6 on the side and have not noticed any issues copy and pasting vectors into VS relating to your issue myself, so hopefully it's an easy solution

It seems that it's OK with all the other files I tried, must just be this one.

I've just posted another issue I noticed while trying to figure this out

@Igull Got the file, I will get back to you once I manage to replicate.

@Igull I cannot replicate this here, but I got the crash reports.
If you have a file where this occurs, please send it to me (seems to be related to text).

Update: removed the few 'Myriad Pro' font text snippets and problem disappeared.

The problem is still there, but this is the workaround I will try to fix it for the next build.

You're not alone. I can understand and relate to that feeling. Stopping one's workflow to curate an email or post with files and pics and the like attached is a labor of love. I try to remind myself that these little steps are my way of helping VS become mature and an amazing alternative to Adobe, etc.. that usually motivates me lol.
I also try to think of all the problems others have indirectly solved for me by making the effort to give feedback and share issues.

Thank you for all you have shared and contributed so far to the improvement of VS

@Igull Crash can be replicate here also.

And since everyone uses the tools and possibilities in VS in their own
and special way. Everyone finds probably also other places
that can be improved in VS.

Sharing this knowledge can only be beneficial for everyone.

@Igull This issue should be fixed in build 1.1.062

Copy from AI then pasting to VS now works, but, when pasting the copied object into VS, it seems to be contained within a clipping mask.
If you 'object/expand clipped groups', then, while it does expand, it also outlines any strokes

Perhaps I'm missing something here and someone can clarify if that is the intended result ? I would have assumed a simple and straight copy/paste ?
