Huh? Screenshot and steps involved? And you might want to start a new thread instead of using a 10 year old one.

Here is a step by step of quartus prime standard edition version 21.1. The first instance, I demonstrate ctrl+c and ctrl+v without highlight similar instances selected, which works properly. The second instance, I demonstrate ctrl+c and ctrl+v with highlight similar instances selected and it shows the error of pasting every instance of the selected word in the text editor.
I have also viewed the clipboard in Microsoft after the ctrl+c copy was done and the text editor copies all instances of the text to the clipboard. If I drag and highlight the word, it doesn't select every instance and thereby only copies one instance to the clipboard with ctrl+c. However, if I double click the word, thereby utilizing the "highlight similar instances" feature (which should only highlight, not actually select the similar instances), then every single similar instance of the word in the text editor is copied to the clipboard when ctrl+c is pressed. This is not how it should function.
