No file base when copying a file in solution explorer

Question

It used to be, that one could copy a file in solution explorer, and when looking at the changes in the commit window, it compared to the file it was copied from by default. This worked flawlessly and was very useful.

For a while now, this hasnt been working anymore. When copying an item in solution explorer like I used to, it will just show as a new file without a base to compare it to. I'm not sure whether the problem lies with the VisualSVN-plugin we use or maybe TortoiseSVN itself. Maybe even the VS update to 2019..

Did anybody have this issue?

Doing a quick google only brought me to "repair move" which is not what I want since I don't delete the files i copy from usually.

I would assume its not a re#er problem..

EDIT: I only copy within the same project using ctrl-c/ctrl-v in solutionexplorer.

We use VisualSVN 7.1.2 along with Re#er Ultimate 2019.1.2. We also have the productivity power tools installed, but those are all the plugins we use.

EDIT2: I tried it on a third persons machine yielding the same results:

This could be a bug and your report needs additional investigation. Consider the following suggestions:

• Anything new in the logs when you make a copy? The logs are in %TEMP%\VisualSVN.
• How do you make a copy? What command do you run? Is it copy-paste? Do you copy within one project?
• What project templates do you use in Visual Studio?
