Copy/Cut/Paste Not Working

[jhubbs]

This applies to Inkscape 0.47pre4 r22446, built Oct 16 2009, running on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

Open .svg created in an earlier version of Inkscape; select text object; Ctl-C to copy. Ctl-V to paste; nothing happens. No new copy appears on top of copied object or anywhere else.

Or:

Create new letter-size drawing; draw freehand line; choose select tool; select freehand line; Ctl-C to copy. Ctl-V to paste; a similar object appears but as though it has been "filled."

Attaching file known to exhibit the first behavior.

Can you compare your X11/XQuartz preferences for the syncing of the X11 clipboard with the OS X pasteboard to the settings described the FAQ <http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Copying_and_pasting_in_Inkscape_creates_pixellated_images_instead_of_copying_the_vector_objects> or to this X11 Preferences dialog screenshot: <http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=3627#p17000> and test if it works for you with those settings?

(This is a duplicate of bug #307005. Please confirm that changing the settings restores the expected c&p behaviour)

Yes, that made all the difference. Thanks.
