Does CopyStyle do *anything* in custom insets? I was just about to

struck me: although
CopyStyle <name>
doesn't seem to do anything, where <name> is the name of a previously
defined inset, perhaps
CopyStyle Flex:<name>
will work? And to my surprise, because I have struggled with this for
far too long, it *does* work.
I will guess that you are using an older layout format, rather than the
current one for 2.0.x (which is format 35), since one of the bugs you
reported involved a layout2layout problem. In 2.0.x, Flex insets MUST be
named "Flex:whatever". This is documented under 5.3.9. This was not true
in 1.6.x, and we attempt to convert older layouts, which do not use the
Flex: prefix, to the newer form (including the "CopyStyle"
declarations). But it doesn't always work---some cases have to be
handled manually), and that is why you are seeing this bug. Indeed, it
may well be the same bug you reported in the second post. Hard to say in
the abstract.
