I unmarked bug #307005 as duplicate of bug #296778 because it described
a clipboard issue on OS X that only happens with newer version of
X11/XQuartz. This is confirmed by the developer (from apple) who works
on XQuartz (X.org server port for Mac OS X).

I don't use Windows but AFAIK the windows port of GTK+ (the Gui toolkit
Inkscape uses) doesn't need X11, so no, this issue looks different from
your copy/paste bug on XP.

Re bug #296778: do you use a clipboard manager that could interfere with
Inkscapes either internal handling or exchange with the system
clipboard? If it's a platform-independant bug as you suggest, there
ought to be more reports/confirms - the user base on XP is probably much
larger than on OS X.

I'm not a developer - so, no - I cannot be sure that it's only a X11
related bug.
