Are there any parameters available for switching back to the previous the copy-pasting behavior, which included non-selected offcurves in cases like on this screenshot? I understand that some might prefer to copy-paste literally just the selection, but I find the previous behavior way more convenient and couldn’t find any practical use for pasting a bunch of separate paths. Any chance the user we could choose between the two? ![image](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/7/a79eb3ccce085ef556e4947fe5e9590ec7e32759.jpeg) ---

I second this from here to eternity. I can’t believe anyone would willingly choose to copy the nodes only and not the handles. It seems more of a bug than an actual feature. Please let’s go back to how things were in G2! ![Screenshot 2026-10-22 at 14.39.13](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/d/b/db3928b3d48096588913d1552efe614fa9d952ca.png) ![Screenshot 2026-10-22 at 14.38.34](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/2/92c09a5715f48e99f12bb310d3a84c2750d33029.png) ![Screenshot 2026-10-22 at 14.38.23](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/3/43691e60593c74bb8f6a46701f7f83a30447a4a6.png)
