Getting a transparent background when pasting.
I made an object using the Bezier curve tool ( ), and I want to copy and paste it. When I select the object and copy it, then paste it, it pastes the white background that was within the rectangle, but is not a part of the object. How do I make the background transparent? Thank you.

Re: Getting a transparent background when pasting.
I have the same problem and using 0.47 in Ubuntu.
However I would like to state the problem in a different way.
After I copy and paste an object the dashed line that frames/marks an object once chosen is different in the original and copied/pasted one.
Namely the frame is bigger in the copied/pasted object - which actually looks like a white background.
I have had a fast look to XML editor. The path I draw is defined by
d m 456.01234,74.934157 52.0247,32.559673
id path2923
style fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:1px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1
once copied and pasted style changes to
style fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:1px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1;display:inline;filter:url(#filter6342)
When I remove the part display..., everything turns to normal.
