problems with paste in place

Asked by Adam

I try to copy two polygons created using the Bezier curve tool in one layer and paste in place in another layer to work with it in a different way. When I paste in place, it pastes it elsewhere instead. It also fuses the two polygons so I can no longer work with them in the way I need to. Please advise how to deal with this.

Thanks.

Do you happen to use Inkscape on a Mac?

You may need to change your preferences in X11:

X11 > Preferences > Disable "Update Pasteboard when CLIPBOARD changes" options

Can you help with this problem?
