Hi Ljiljan,

thanks for this report too :)
It is by design that it works like this.
It allows you to paste a new icture/drawing over an existing one, while keeping position and such the same. Which often can be convenient.

So I set this to NOTABUG...
Hope you can agree.

Regards.
Cor

But maybe you didn't understand me :) I cannot copy that rectangle (new one) if current (copied) rectangle is still selected... In order to create copy, I have to click somewhere else :)
