Bug Description

Binary package hint: inkscape

Inkscape version 0.47pre4 r22446, built Oct 14 2009
Ubuntu 9.10, Linux Kernel 2.6.31-20-generic
Gnome 2.28.1

When I copy anything within Inkscape, I can not paste it.

Neither "Paste" nor "Paste in Place" work.

If I "Cut" a path or object, it disappears, but then I can't paste it anywhere. It is effectively the same as deleting the path or object.

In short, "Paste" does not work.

I noticed there were some bug reports about similar problems, but I think mine is different because:

1. Some of the other bug reports I saw referred to Max OSX. I'm using Ubuntu.

2. Some of the other bug reports referred to copying and pasting between two different Inkscape files. I am only trying to copy within the same file. In fact, I am trying to copy on the same layer in the same file (copying to different layers doesn't work either.)

I hope someone can help to resolve this bug.

Yes, it turns out Inkscape was incompatible with clipboard manager that I was running.

Unfortunately, I've lost the name of the particular clipboard app I was running. However, since uninstalling it, Inkscape has resumed normal copy/paste action.

Thank you for your time and help.
