Connectors disconnects if the group containing it is copied/cloned and moved

[Mildred]

The problem is evidenced by the following operations on inkscape 0.48 (GNU/Linux)

1. Create two objects
2. Link them using a connector
3. Group the three objects together
4. Move the group on the sheet
    (the connector position is not moved internally)
5. Clone the group
7. The connector disconnects and moves to its original
     position

Note: this also happens with a normal duplication (not necessarily a clone)

Attached the file which shows the problem. What I currently see in the attached file is: Two rectangles and a line on the right of the sheet. This figure is cloned just below.

What I should see is the same figure, except that the line connects the two rectangles on the left (as it originally did)

Note: sometimes on load/save, the problem is fixed automatically. It makes me think of bug #879022

The issue with duplication is different (the connector still links to the originals instead of the duplicates). IIRC the originally reported problem is known and tracked in several older reports. For the bug with duplicating connected objects together with their connector(s) we don't have a report yet (I vaguely recall having noticed it based on a message in the user mailing list last year).

Bug is still present in Inkscape 0.48.4 r9939, Windows 7 64 bit.

Still present in Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11) on Windows 10.

Not replicated in Inkscape 0.92.4 and 1.1-dev (12e2a09, 2020-02-19), Windows 10, so I assume this has been fixed. If the issue occurs again, feel free to reopen at http://inkscape.org/report if the problem occurs again.
