My guess is...

They created just the one rectangle shape. (Which would also leave it selected)

Hit CTRL + C thinking it would copy the layer.

Hit CTRL + V 5 times thinking it would paste a new layer. (But instead pasting the shape...)

They didn't see any difference so stopped.

They then found the right way to duplicate a layer. (Hence the 'copy' in the layer name.)


This would result in a total of 6 shapes on each shape layer.


The 'opacity' doesn't accumulate with each shape copy as you would expect as it's the layer itself that is affected by the 'opacity' setting, not each individual shape.


Copying and pasting the shape wouldn't be something you could see so if you didn't know that's what you were doing then its an easy mistake to make.


Adobe don't make it easy when it comes to vectors.
