Description pafal 2014-09-16 12:11:12 UTC 
The issue reported in bug 78413 persists for any other shapes (looks like it has been fixed for rectangle only).

- draw a shape (other than rectangle)
- select it
- ctrl+c
- ctrl-v (the copied object becomes selected)
- check position and size (both position coordinates are at 0.01 offset)

Trying the daily build (libo-43~2014-09-16_08.54.36_LibreOfficeDev_4.3.3.0.0_Win_x86.msi) and the reported bahavior is not reproducible. Might this depend on any settings?

The various snap-to-grid options would likely be influential. You will need to ensure these are turned off before testing.

Please indicate the units being used. Unable to reproduce under GNU/Linux using v4.3.2.2 in the attached example, for the default centimetre unit.

As a result of comment 1, status set to NEEDINFO. Please set back to UNCONFIRMED once the requested information is provided. Thanks.

- Using millimeters as the main units, but centimeters behave the same.
- Testing snap to grid and grid granularity, no influence on the offset.

Opening the attached "ODG with various shapes LOv4322" in OO 4.4.1.1 on Win7 64 bit and using following steps:

- select (click) the shape, 
- ctrl-c, 
- ctrl-v, 
- check the position of the pasted one (expecting the exact same position and size as the original)

1) Rectangle: *same as the original*
2) Circle   : x+0.01 mm, y+0.01 mm
3) Cylinder : x+0.01 mm, y+0.01 mm
4) Heart    : x+0.01 mm (y unchanged!)
5) LArrow   : x+0.01 mm, y+0.01 mm
6) Flag     : x+0.01 mm, y+0.01 mm
7) Bubble   : x+0.01 mm, y+5.43 mm (WTF?)
8) Star     : x+0.01 mm, y+0.01 mm
9) RArrow   : *same as the original*

As this is pretty annoying I have performed following additional steps:

1) Complete wipe of ANY libre/open office traces in system (uninstall, delete program/data directories)
2) Clean instal of LO 4.4.1.1 (msi downloaded from 
   http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/win/x86/
3) Testing of following shapes in default setup is OK: 
   - rectangle, 
   - ellipse, 
   - heart!. 
   The bubble is weird even in the default setup, it adds 1.03cm to y coordinate.
4) Change settings from default to "my" values (due to localization I would try to guess the original english equivalents):
   - general, measurement units : centimeters -> millimeters
   - grid, main spacing (both)  : 10.00mm     -> 5.00mm
   - grid, aux spacing (both)   : 10          -> 5

This is the setup the described copy/paste behaviour occurs. I'm starting to suspect the code of some wrongly handled floating point arithmetics and rounding problems...

Could you please apply these details and try to reproduce?

Reproduced results from comment 3 on Win & Linux.

Tools - Options - LibreOffice Draw - General - Unit of measurement: Millimeter
In the sidebar, have Position and size visible to immediately see the change.

This isn't major, though (can be correctec manually afterwards), so lowering severity: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/0/06/Prioritizing_Bugs_Flowchart.jpg

In LibreOffice 5.0.1.2, it is a pain when something pastes out of view, and you have to scroll around the document, find the object, and drag it back.

For example, if I copy something at 3.7in x 2.9in, it may paste at 5.68in x 4.48 in.
