System Information
Operating system: macOS-11.2.3-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M OpenGL Engine ATI Technologies Inc. 4.1 ATI-4.2.15

Blender Version
Broken: version: from 2.80 up until 2.93.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-04-10 16:36, hash: ed5507de8a
Worked: unknown

Short description of error
Using copy to selected on a material does not do anything
(might be related to #87392, except for materials it is also broken on 2.92, whereas for modifiers it isn't)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Default scene
Add second cube
Add a material to one of them, the other can either have a different material or none
Select both objects with the one with the material as active
Right click on the Material in the Material Panel and use the Copy to Selected option.

Observation: The material is not copied.
Previous misunderstanding: There is another way to do the above job by clicking the down arrow under +/- buttons called Materials Special, it has a Copy Material to Selected option which works fine.

Cannot confirm this issue on Windows 10 master hash : d3cb1d845b347524b
Copy material to selected is working fine with material getting copied to the second Cube.

Also cannot reproduce.

Please try with File → Defaults → Load Factory Settings to see if you still can reproduce this issue.

@blenderrocket I am having concerns, it might be a support issue. Could you record yourself reproducing the issue and upload a video?
That will help track down the issue.
Thanks!

I have tried several versions back and it turns out it has actually never worked for me (oldest version I tried was 2.80).

Thanks @blenderrocket , that helps.
Hey @ankitm could you look into it and see if its macOS specific.
Edit: Sorry for the mention @ankitm. I can confirm the issue.

I can confirm the issue from the new steps as observed from the video. Will update the task description.

Ah, get it now.

But please have a look at #85417 (Material Properties->Copy To Selected does not work) the way it works is described there.
And while this can be a bit misleading, will have to merge into #85417...
