Excel 2011 (Mac) deletes other worksheets when copying a chart

Default Excel 2011 (Mac) deletes other worksheets when copying a chart

I recently developed a workbook with two worksheets. The second sheet, has a chart that I want to appear on Sheet #1 as well. However, whenever, I select and copy that chart, the copy completes, but it simultaneously deletes the other worksheets in the project. I can recover the original by saving the trashed workbook under another name and then reopening the originally-named workbook, but that makes me enter a lot of new data all over.

This appears to be flagrant bug in Excel for Mac, but I can't find anything about through Internet searching.

I've never use Office for Mac, so for what it's worth:

If you have both tabs selected—ie highlighted—when copying, try selecting only the second sheet.

If you use a keyboard shortcut to copy, could it also be assigned to deleting? How exactly are you activating the Copy function?

To be clear, when you copy the chart in Sheet2, it deletes Sheet1—is that what you're saying?

If you make a copy of Sheet1 first, does the copy delete both Sheet1s?

This is bizarre behavior, and would have plenty of commentary on the web if widespread. So it must be something odd in your setup. Is their a Repair Office command you can run?
