Ha! I was just coming here to report something similar. I was trying to change the background color and when I'd paste the hex code into the background color, instead of changing the color, it would create a new text field with the hex code in it!
Let's hope this is a short-lived bug!
Guess I'll go work on promoting or something like that.
ETA: I was able to change the code by typing it in instead of pasting it in. I'm thinking that perhaps they're trying to introduce a new feature where you can create a text box by just pasting something into the design tool without clicking the thing to add a new text layer first - but now whenever you paste anything anywhere it creates a new text layer instead of pasting whatever it was into whatever field you were using. I tried pasting a number into font size or line spacing and got the same bug.
Copy and paste doesn't work regardless if you use keyboard shortcuts or use the browser Edit menu. Instead of pasting it into the template field (as an example) it opens up a new text field. However you can edit the template field by manually just typing it out. I assume now the same would work with colors codes (if typed in manually). A bit annoying but possible to work around it.
