Bug Description

Inkscape 0.91 r13725

When objects get copied and pasted from one document to another any assigned swatches should get pasted with them.
Currently swatch colors get turned into normal color values.

Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 on OS X 10.7.5 (tested with default new prefs, two new documents based on the default template, a stroked rectangle with a custom swatch color for the fill).

Please attach a test case (source Inkscape SVG file, target SVG file saved before and after pasting an object from the source SVG file which uses a custom swatch for the fill (or stroke) paint) to allow further investigation.

Not reproduced on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 (inkscape.dev stable PPA) either, with same minimal test case:
1) open new document
2) draw a rectangle
3) convert fill color to custom swatch
4) copy rect to clipboard (Ctrl+C)
5) open new document (Ctrl+N)
5) paste (Ctrl+V)

Clarification:
"Not reproduced" (on Ubuntu and OS X with Inkscape 0.91) means that the custom swatch color is transferred along with the pasted object; if the same custom swatch already exists in the target document, that one is reused instead (to avoid duplicating identical custom swatches on paste). The pasted object does preserve the custom swatch color for the fill or stroke paint either way.
