Copy-paste is basically nonfunctional on my Lenovo T520 running Fedora 16 x64. I'm running inkscape-0.48.1-9.fc16.x86_64, but have tried inkscape-0.48.1-4 and inkscape-0.48.2-1 recompiled for my Fedora version and had the same issue. This is in spite of inkscape running fine off one of those official Fedora 15 flash drives (which I believe was inkscape 0.48.1), and a RHEL 6.1 Workstation. A VM running RHEL 6.2 server on top of F16 also does not exhibit any issues, which was inkscape 0.47.
For all intents and purposes, copy-paste is broken for me. I can copy things to the clipboard, which seems to be putting things in the clipboard (checked out the drag and drop tool, and saw stuff going in), and the paste menu option lights up. However, when actually trying to paste, most of the time I get nothing, sometimes I get 2 - 4 pastes before it stops pasting. Once it doesn't paste when I tell it to, I haven't been able to make it paste again without doing another copy. I can't make it paste anything between instances of inkscape.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open inkscape
2. Create a few shapes/text
3. Select something and copy using menu or keyboard
4. Attempt to paste a few times, may get something, probably will get nothing
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 and get different results
This happens in new files, in my saved files, everything as far as I can tell.
I'm happy to provide any additional information. |

Edit: Not sure if there's a way to link these or anything, but another user reported what sounds like maybe the same issue over on Bugzilla - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=756604 |
