GarageBand pastes wrong region

When I try to copy one region from a track of one project to a different (another file) project the region actually pasted is another one that I used previously in another time, not the one that I'm actually trying to copy.

When I try to do the same within the same project to another track it pastes the intended region just fine.

I already restarted the Mac, changed the name of the track and the region, duplicated the project and nothing has worked.

What else can I try?

Thanks in advance.

Mac mini, macOS 15.0

Logic Pro: When copy/pasting from one project to another, inserted region is replaced by another Hi there I feel pretty alone with this one, tried to find anything similar, but either it is a new bug that only happened to me or I'm doing something wrong. My students recorded with their iPads a short rap section of a song with GarageBand iOS. They airdropped me their garageband-project, I opened/automatically converted them with Logic Pro to a .logicx-file, copied their clip (region) and pasted them in a different project (both Logic Projects open at the same time). I did it with so many different regions, never a problem, each region on its own audio track. Since yesterday, when inserting the copied region in the destination project, the region keeps the original name, but the audio is completely replaced by another region that exists in the destination project. Restarting Logic or my MacBook Pro i9 late 2019 16" 32GB didn't make a difference. I copied the region and inserted it in the same project and that works: The inserted region is the same as the copied one. But once I want to insert it to another open project, it randomly is replaced by another clip. To the left you can see the original region, which I was successfully able to duplicate to another track in the same project. The moment I copy/paste or drag'n'drop that same clip to the project on the right, the audio is replaced by another region (but region name is transferred). To me, it feels like something's wrong with the clipboard. I checked if the inserted region would be the last region I had copied in the destination project, but that didn't make any difference, the inserted region is always replaced by the same region from another track. The day before yesterday I had installed GarageBand on my Macbook Pro thinking I could open the iOS GarageBands files directly, but it would convert them into a Mac OS GarageBand-file first. Since it didn't improve my workflow, i deinstalled GarageBand and simply convert to logicx. What I also notice is that if I want to drag'n'drop the original region into the new project, it isn't inserted in the track I was aiming for... I'm not a greenhorn and understand computers and logic pretty good, so I'm kinda desperate. Any ideas? It's happening for the second time with two other projects. Kind regards and thanks in advance Fernando

Garageband shows "audio file not found" for pasted clips after re-opening saved file When I move a clip to a Garageband file, then edit and save - it's all fine. But when re-opening that file, either immediately or a little later, one or more of the pasted audio files give 'file missing' error. Even if the file has opened successfully several times since they were pasted in. This is a new problem since the OS Venture Upgrade (It seems) but perhaps there was a Garageband update too that instigated it. This obviously sucks because all of a sudden key files are gone and project needs to be recreated. Any Ideas?

GarageBand Cycle keeps randomly skipping back to the beginning of the loop I chose a section to loop in GB and it keeps randomly skipping back to the beginning without finishing the loop. It's happening on all projects. It just started doing that today. I restarted my Mac. I turned the Cycle on and off. I tried different regions and the issue remains.
