I've made an isometric illustration of a laptop. I used a lot of gradients in my paths. When I select the entire illustration and copy/paste it, one of the paths loses its gradient and is pasted with the gradient of the path above it. Here is a screenshot of the illustration (on the left) and the copied version with the wrong gradient on the "borders" of the laptop (on the right):
Beginners' Questions Losing color gradient when pasting a path

I've made an isometric illustration of a laptop. I used a lot of gradients in my paths. When I select the entire illustration and copy/paste it, one of the paths loses its gradient and is pasted with the gradient of the path above it. Here is a screenshot of the illustration (on the left) and the copied version with the wrong gradient on the "borders" of the laptop (on the right):

The sides of the laptop are copied, but with the gradient of the path above it (the "base" of the laptop, which has a lighter gradient).
Is this a bug?
It's hard to say without seeing the original.
I would look at the XML editor in Inkscape and see if the same gradient is being used, or a copy.
There is a setting in Inkscape preferences to allow (or not) sharing of gradients. That might make a difference.
Was the artwork grouped before copy/paste? That might make a difference.
Can you use Duplicate or Clone rather than copy/paste? Maybe that will make a difference.
Duplicating works, thank you!
I think it shouldn´t make difference, otherwise how to get objects with gradient from one to another document?
But here with macOS it works as expected with checked/unchecked "Prevent sharing of gradient definitions".
I agree. There is likely a bug, dependent on specific conditions in the OP's file.
this is probably not a bug you need to check move gradient in selection tool
I would have thought so too, but the other gradients appear to have moved.
hmm you are right ... but if i dont have a svg cannot tell.. or until there is way to reproduce
