Re: [Inkscape-user] drag, drop and copy-paste

Hi,

I don't know if this is a bug or nor, or related to gnome or inkscape, but the other day I tried to copy a drawing from one document to another.

I copied the element in one document, changed focus to the other element, but when pasting I didn't get the expected result.

What happened was that I pasted the latest copied element in the other document. I've also tried to drag the drawing, but that didn't work either, as that wasn't possible.

Again: I am not sure if this is related to inkscape.

This is a known problem in Inkscape, you can't copy/paste from two different instances of the application. You can copy only if the second instance is started using File->New from the first one.
