I was trying to save time and duplicate a pattern to multiple rows, but it only works correctly when duplicating one row at a time. Try selecting 2 patterns (of 8 steps), right click “Add chords to (16)” =\> “Add to new pattern” and in my case it jumbled up the (same set of chords) into different steps.
