If you have auto commit on and attempt to copy children or descendents, the children / descendents are not auto committed. A version tag is created that must be manually committed.
1) Enable Auto Commit on a site
2) Add a collaboration system to a page
3) Add a few threads, replies, and posts to the CS
4) Turn admin on
5) Click Copy and choose "With Descendents" (a version tag is created)
6) Paste the CS to a new page
7) The threads/posts will not appear unless you manually commit the version tag)
This happens with all copy operations on my site. To reproduce:
This should be fixed in 7.4.14, however it can be a little odd.
If you aren't using realtime commits, it will return to the page before the version tag gets processed by spectre, so the copied item won't show up.
