copy modifies grouped 3D boxes

reproduced with Inkscape 0.47
not reproduced with Inkscape 0.47+devel r9454 on OS X 10.5.8

Marking as duplicate of bug #300888 “3D Box, after grouping with another 3D Box does not stay in place.”

Please add a comment and revert the duplicate status if you don't agree and think this was done in error.

Reverting the duplicate status because I was wrong:
- the 'move when copying a group of 3dboxes' issue has been described in the comments of bug #400982 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/400982/comments/10> which probably is more related than #300888.
- while 'move when copying a group of 3dboxes' no longer occurs with current development builds, the other issues ("Additionally, any fill gradients and/or fill colors (if no gradients) are randomly changed." and "(…) gradients and any transform operations sometimes have random effects.") still occur.
- pasting and transforming/aligning 3bdoxes appear to have serious regressions

simplified steps to reproduce issues:

Issue A-1

1. Open the attached svg file.
2. Select a 3D box with mouse.
3. Edit -> Copy
4. File -> New (any template)
5. Edit -> Paste
6. BUG!
effect 1: 3D box's gradients are altered

Issue A-2

1. Open the attached svg file.
2. Select all objects with mouse.
3. Object -> Group
4. Edit -> Copy
5. File -> New (any template)
6. Edit -> Paste
7. BUG!
effect 1: 3D boxes' gradients are altered
effect 2: 3D boxes' relative positions in group are altered

Issue B-1

1. Open the attached svg file.
2. Select any 3D box with mouse.
3. Object -> Align and Distribute...
4. Click any *justify* button relative to *page*.
5. BUG!
effect 1: 3D box's gradients are altered
effect 2: 3D box's absolute position on page is *not* altered

Issue B-2

1. Open the attached svg file.
2. Select all objects with mouse.
3. Object -> Group
4. Object -> Align and Distribute...
5. Click any *justify* button relative to *page*.
6. BUG!
effect 1: 3D boxes' gradients are altered
effect 2a: 3D boxes' relative positions in group are altered
effect 2b: 3D boxes' absolute positions on page are *not* altered

To me, it appears transforms on grouped 3D boxes -- suv says transforms are involved in both <Paste> and in <Align and Distribute...> operations -- are being incorrectly applied to the 3D boxes' gradients instead of to their positions.

The problem remains in 0.47+devel r9497.

Issue A-2 and B-2 (with regard to 'relative positions in group are altered') has been filed separately as
Bug #826056 “Copy&paste of group (3dbox + object) changes the relative positions of group members”
