I was hoping to copy a train stop description to create a stop at a different station with the same wait condition, so I tried to use the new & hot copy-paste tool. It didn't copy the station description, yet the result exceeded my expectations

How to reproduce:
1. Open train schedule editor.
2. Add “Items count” condition.
3. Press Ctrl+C.
4. Left-click where a material should be.

Expected result: condition is copied to clipboard OR nothing.

Actual result: my train is now waiting until it's loaded with 4k copy-paste tools

Thanks for the report. That is a side effect of those GUIs allowing filters to be set based off the item in the cursor.

Just because an item is marked as hidden doesn't mean it should not be allowed as a filter so the game simply allows anything to be set. It doesn't cause any bugs or crashes so I'm going to say this is fine.

Please never fix this!

Yeah, that's why I would say it is not a bug. For all intents and purposes it can be considered another virtual signal.
