On a mac with safari and 2 rpi's.  
When I copy a flow from one rpi to another.

When I copy a flow with cmd e, current flow, my  
junction nodes are not included.

When I use cmd a e, selected nodes, my  
junction nodes are included.

Does anyone else see the same thing?

1. what do you mean by a `junction` node?
2. Are you coping from the Mac and pasting on the PI or the other way around?
3. do the jusctions span tab pages in the editor?
4. I see you releases are old, current is v3.0.2 have you thought about upgrading them?

@Frida - Why have you tagged 'flexdash' in this topic? Is there some reason why you think flexdash is causing the problem?

It is the small squares that connect the lines between  
nodes.

I use mac as window for the 2 rpi's. Taking a copy  
from one rpi and transfers to the other rpi.

I will update and try again.

I don't know why flexdash is tagged, maybe because  
it says flexdash somewhere in the text.

I will remove it if I can.

There were significant changes to junctions during the beta releases so it is probably due to import or export of that NR instance.

Does this happen when exporting / importing between v3+ (non beta) versions?
