Bug Description
Quite often I need to copy a portion of schematic or a single symbol from one schematic to another. Right now EEschema doesn't support that unless you really do some tedious contortions with it. Ok, it is what it is... But at least can you fix support for cutting and pasting all the custom fields from one symbol properties to another on a different schematic sheet?
So if I open one schematic sheet in one project go to component properties and copy all the values there (single column) and then close that sheet and try to paste the selection into another symbol in another schematic sheet/project, nothing happens. It seems that cut/paste buffer is purged as soon as EEschema is closed. What is the point of doing it, I wonder?

@Jeff, does this include copying hierarchical sheets from the clipboard? If so, did you run the pasted sheets through the litany of tests that are required to prevent infinite recursion bugs?
