Bug Description
I am using inkscape 0.46, which I built on Mac OSX 10.5.5, using the 'building inkscape using macports' directions.
I am using XQuartz-2.3.2_rc2.
Anyway, when I use the copy command, either from the menu or via Ctrl-C, and then use paste either via the edit menu or Ctrl-V, I am always getting a bitmap copy. Additionally, I am seeing files called 'inkscape_
It seems like the duplicate command works ok, but it doesn't use paste to work.
Update: this bug happens on
- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard with X11 2.1.6
- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard with X11/Xquartz 2.3.2 and later
- Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard with X11 2.3.4
- Mac OS X 10.7 Lion with X11 2.6.4
- OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion with XQuartz 2.7.4
and can be worked around by changing the pasteboard preferences of X11/Xquartz.
