Intermittent - Duplicate a request and the copy does not contain the URL or headers (blank request)

I’ve noticed this in the most recent version of Postman, I am a heavy user so often have numerous multiple tabs open.
Version: Postman v11.17.0
Windows 10

Pre req settings of note: Auto Save is switched on. Many tabs open. Postman open and running for several hours.

Duplicate a request in a collection folder, I then move it to another folder and check the URL and it is blank and so are the headers.

Workaround
If I shutdown Postman and re-open Postman the URL and headers are then populated as if my magic!

Sneaky suspicion it’s due to some kind of memory issue in the app, as I have also encountered issues where sometimes I am just unable to set a global variable and I can’t fathom out why and then I restart Postman and the test works with the variable being populated.
