Sketch Tool, Copy, Repeat button grayed out

I am trying to make multiple copies of a note, that I will subsequently edit. I go to Tools, Sketch Tools, Copy, pick my note, and the Repeat button is grayed out. I cannot make multiple copies. SW will only allow me to make one copy at a time. This is new behaviour. Any suggestions?
