If you have a view that is sorted by creation date descending and you duplicate an item, CTRL+D, the new item keeps the creation date of the original.  Before (MLO 3.x just updated to 4.x) creation date was reset. So duplicating an item would bounce it to the top of  the list on a creation date sort order.  I would argue the creation date needs to reset on duplication and not retained.  I can change views to sort on modification date, but I want to be able to modify things without bumping the sort order of that item. Creation date as a constant keeps the order in tact.

All the best

(Not sure if this is the right way to report bugs and that these days, so point me to the right place if I have it wrong)

Confirmed on W7 with MLO 4.3.3.  
Does this both with Duplicate (ctrl+d) or with Copy (ctrl+c) then Paste (ctrl+v).  In both cases creation date of the source task was preserved.
