Problem - Symbols keep duplicating Pasted symbols duplicate the master in Sketch

For some reason, sometimes when I copy/paste a symbol or a group of symbols, it creates a new symbol in the symbol page which creates a huge mess and I end up having the same symbol many times. I disabled the renaming feature so they all have the same name. How can I avoid this?

Thank you

 

UPDATE - THIS WAS A BUG AND IS NOW FIXED in 43.2 : "FixesUpdate — This was a bug where copying and pasting Symbol instances could duplicate their master"is now fixed in 43.2:
