Copying Rooms & Walls Issue

Anyone else have any issues with walls when copying a room?

It seems like when we copy a room, it's not always copying the wall objects correctly.
We noticed that walls were sometimes redrawing with the copied products from the copied room and vice-versa. When using the Adjust Wall Length tool, both the copied products and original products from both rooms were appearing as being linked to the wall.

It seems that the unique wall ID isn't always being given a separate ID when it's copied. When I looked in the wall spreadsheet, enabled hidden columns, the product/link ID's that were there were identical in both rooms. So we end up with Microvellum seeing the walls in both rooms as the same exact wall in the database. Meaning if we make a change to the wall in one room, it'll be changed in the other room. Which is worrying because it won't reflect the changes anywhere unless it's redrawn. 
It doesn't seem like this is the intended behavior, because sometimes it does give the wall it's own unique ID and the wall in the original room is unique to the wall in the copied room. 

Sometimes it's also giving the wall it's own unique ID, but not associating the copied products to the wall again. So I've seen instances were it copies the room, and the walls are both unique objects in both rooms. But the copied products are associated to the original wall in the original room, not the copied version of the room. 

Really easy to overlook this issue and make big mistakes.
