What Happened?

When using the cut feature (CTRL+X) on a block that contains properties with values, after pasting, the contents of the properties are blank.

Reproduce the Bug

1. Create a block
2. Add properties and fill out the values for those properties
3. Now select the entire block and cut it to your clipboard
4. Try pasting it in a different page in logseq and notice that the property values are all blank

Expected Behavior

Cut and paste should work the same as copy and paste

Another thing on this.. I found that if you do a copy and paste, it works ok.. Unless you go back and delete the original block, then the contents of those property values are wiped out.. The only way this works so that the contents are not wiped out is by dragging and dropping the block into the new location. See the new video for a demonstration:

I just pushed a fix, let me know whether it works for you.

@tiensonqin - cut and paste works now, however if you copy and paste, then delete the original block, the copied block still ends up having its properties wiped out. My guess is its setup to use pointers to not duplicate records in the DB so this will probably fall back on a design question.
