Inkscape copy and paste becomes un-useable

[Max Marriott]

I was using inkscape for a week and was getting really into using it and its features, thinking it was a really good product i started to do some work on it but found i could no longer copy and paste without the item i was copying becoming pixilated.

I tried re-installing, tried it on saved and new projects and various other ways to fix it including different paste methods.

I was using the latest 0.48.2 stable version on mac osx 10.6 snow leopard

I tried to find steps to reproduce ( i am a software tester myself) but it appears to be there no matter what i tired.

All i need to do it open inkscape create a circle and a circle over it copy and paste it and it is blured. see file.

 I did not zoom in untill after the object creations, i did nothing but create and copy and paste them.
