### Summary

When you have a sequencer tab open, Ctrl +C doesn’t copy anything to the clipboard (tested with a multiselection of a HUD message device and a button device that are linked together). You have to close the sequencer tab for it to work (right click copy does work, just not the hotkey)

### Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Other

### Steps to Reproduce

Place a button and a HUD message device. Connect the button to show the HUD  
Make a new level sequence and open the sequencer tab  
On viewport, select both the button and HUD message and press Ctrl +C (copy)  
Paste (Ctrl + V)

### Expected Result

Selection is pasted

### Observed Result

Nothing gets pasted. If you check clipboard, an empty entry exists.

### Platform(s)

PC
