Unless the page settings are different on the duplicated page, this isn't a bug. The duplicate page button doesn't copy the page's content.

What Brian said. The duplicate button only duplicates the current page settings. Not the page content. If you'd like to carry over the page's content. Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL(CMD) + A to select all graphics on a layer. Move to the new page and press CTRL(CMD) + V to paste it.
Something to consider is that the phrase "duplicate page" for some does not intuitively mean "only copy settings". I too also expected a full duplication of the page, including content. I ended up finding this post searching to see if anyone else was experience a problem.
Agreed. "Duplicate Page" means "contents + settings" You should change the term. It is confusing. :)

When I use my Xerox (brand photocopier) to duplicate a page, I am always surprised that the image formed is identical to that inserted into the machine. All I wanted was a blank piece of paper, the same size as the one I had! If I'd wanted the picture on the paper duplicated, I'd just use my pencil; that's what pencils are for, right?! [/Snark] +1 to making this change, please! Either the name or functionality, I don't care. -Phnord the Obnoxious

Yes, this would be wonderful addition: to allow one to copy a page and all token/objects in their positions. The copy/paste work-around is not great. It is difficult and near impossible to sometimes get background layer objects. Also depending on where you place your paste cursor, the pasting does not put the token/object (as a group) always where I think it will. The transmogrifier function has a true "copy page" function. This seems an easy add, since you already have the functionality in transmogrifier. Just allow it within the same campaign. I am not a mentor user, so if you can use the transmog. function already this way, I'd sign up for that level sponsorship. I really like having multiple copies of pages with different tokens and events already pre-loaded depending on the storyline.
