Copy and paste UTF-8 Causes Error

[Martin Owens]

I copied a tick mark from inkscape and pasted into libreoffice, I got this error in inkscape:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ink2canvas.py", line 89, in <module>
    ink.affect()
  File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 246, in affect
    if output: self.output()
  File "ink2canvas.py", line 34, in output
    sys.stdout.write(self.canvas.output())
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2713' in position 327: ordinal not in range(128)

Reproduced on Crunchbang Waldorf, Inkscape trunk revision 12969.
With 0.48.3.1, pasting writes the SVG code of the copied object instead of the object itself.

Related: bug #1258473 'trunk: ink2canvas for stroked objects fails with "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'unittouu'" '

After playing with a rectangle (removing stroke, changing style, adding stroke), I no longer see the error message from the original description but, when the copied object is stroked, the error message from bug #1258473.
If I remove the stroke. the rectangle pastes in LibreOffice (I see the selection bounding box) but is empty (no fill, no stroke).

Can't reproduce on Windows 7, even with old Inkscape versions (tested with 0.48.3.1 and 0.48.5). Gnu/Linux only?

[jazzynico (jazzynico)]

Not reproduced on Xubuntu 15.10, Inkscape 0.91 and trunk rev. 14772.
@Martin, could you please confirm it's fixed. If not, could you please attach an example file?
