I am familiar with the bug of it being pasted as bitmap...

I don't know how to view the clipboard, but here's what happened. I opened my fresh download of pre4, I made a square, I tried to copy, I tried to paste, and nothing happened. Then, I made a new document, I made a triangle, I copied it, and I pasted it, and this time it pasted, but it pasted as a bitmap IN A DIFFERENT SIZE AND ORIENTATION from the original. When I tried copying future objects, different shapes (including other triangles of different colors), it kept on re-pasting that first triangle. Even after closing and re-opening Inkscape. So... I don't know what's going on, but it certainly seems that copy and pasting issues have gotten worse and not better.

ALSO: I unchecked the "update pasteboard" preferences thing and the problem seems to have gone away.
