Comment 1 for bug 168704

I assume the SVG is the same as the one (foo.svg) at your bug 16703?

I've reduced this file to an even simpler one with just the green 'X' that still shows the bug, it's attached as foo2.svg

Steps to reproduce:
1) select and copy the 'X'
2) new file
3) paste into the new file

I've saved the new file, which looks blank below as foo2-paste.svg

The problem is that the glyph that defines the 'X' is not copied over to the new file. Unfortunately I can't diagnose this any further, but it certainly looks buggy!
