Bug Description
The duplicate (ctrl+D) command does not work on guides. Right-clicking on a guide even offers to duplicate it, but choosing that menu item does nothing. No error, just no result either.
(Inkscape 0.47 on Windows)
already mentioned in Bug #170355 “Extended UI for managing guides”, comment #8 (<https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/inkscape/ +bug/170355>): «Also - context menu is not 'context specific' when invoked by a right-click on a guide and this is misleading (as for example: Delete does not delete the guide since it is meant for objects).»
Proposing to link this report as duplicate to one of
Bug #170355 “Extended UI for managing guides”
Bug #484187 “Guideline properties dialog deficiences”
to keep discussion about fixing and adding features to the current guides implementation in fewer places.
