Bug Description
Hello,
Doing copy & paste from one Inkscape svg doc to another is resulting in strange behaviors. It doesn’t matter if I am copying and pasting text or drawn objects, or imported jpgs or pngs, they all are doing the similar things. First, they paste in the document a lot smaller than they are in the original file. They also will ungroup, unclip, unmask, or opacity will go back to 100% if it was set lower. And if it is text (not flowed), the text will be a lot smaller and it is converted to object paths…each letter will be an object vs. text.
It doesn’t matter if I am using Ctrl-C & Ctrl-V or if I right click and chose from the menu Copy and then Paste. And I try not to put too much on the clipboard at one time to copy and paste, but even if I do just one simple object, it won’t paste correctly.
And sometimes after I hit Ctrl-V or “Paste" from the menu, I get a message at the bottom toolbar that says, “Nothing on the clipboard”, but I know I did copy the object. I don't get that message every time when it doesn’t work though.
I sometimes can get it to work right if I keep trying over and over again, or it will do it the first try but then when I go to do it again for another object, it won’t work again. So it is a bit random, but more times than not it doesn’t work. I never had this issue with previous versions of Inkscape, it has only been happening since I upgraded to V.0.91. Since I need to copy and paste things on a regular basis between my Inkscape svg documents, this has become rather problematic for me and I thought I'd report it and see if this can't be looked into.
My operating system is Windows 7 Professional, SP1
Thank you!
Mel

FYI, this started as a topic on InkscapeForum.com: http:// www.inkscapefor um.com/ viewtopic. php?f=5& t=19830 and these problems are nothing I've ever seen before.
A couple of sample files were provided in the thread, so I'll attach here.
Thanks :-)
