Duplicating symbol results in an image being pasted

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but if I click on a symbol and press [CTRL]+[D] (or right click > Duplicate) not the symbol is duplicated, but actually an image is pasted into the schematic:

I am using KiCad 9.0.0.

This is a bug that has been fixed for 9.0.1. You can wait until that’s released in a few weeks or use a 9.0 testing build in the meantime. See Duplicate operation leads to pasting of clipboard image instead of selected or hovered item (#19973) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab
