Bug Description
Previously the workflow for the duplicating a symbol was to place the cursor over the symbol, press keyboard shortcut to duplicate it and then move the symbol's copy to the desired location. Now the symbol needs to be highlighted first, which not only creates many unnecessary mouse clicks but also is not consistent with functionality of other similar tools (i.e. Move, Drag etc) where no previous highlighting of the symbol is required.

Duplicate will duplicate the selection. However, if there's no selection, then it works like it used (duplicates the symbol under the cursor). Is this not working for you? (It works for me on OSX.)
