oK ..nOT good.. ;/
in fact ..weird
Automation blocks are not different from nota-blocks:

Ctrl+LMB and drag to a new pos
or
place an empty block at new pos
RMC donor-block
choose 'copy'
RMC new block
choose 'paste'

Both works every time, and i have not seen anyone fail later.
Save you project as mmp and upload, then IM the link, and i will look if anything can explain this weirdness

Oki i can 'fix' you file, and so can you
Instead of using a copy of a copy, you should use the first block for every new copy
Using a copy as a donor for the next copy, seams for be a problem. That could be a new bug.. :/ -But thats something to be investigated

It would be better that this fixed developers, not me.

I am having a problem with copying automation too. I am not sure if I should open a new topic or just tag it here, but

Somehow the automation track works differently from a note track. For note track, I can left click to make a block empty (ready to receive copying), but on animation track, if I left click a block, a new animation is added. Not being able to create the empty block, I could not copy the animation pattern that I wanted to copy.

I am using LMMS 1.1.3 with Windows 10.

Fortunately Ctrl+LMB works!
