Also present in LibO draw.

Bug is seen in 5.0.3.2, but in fact it is also present in LibO 4.x.

In an ancient past, StarOffice/Openoffice times, selecting and object, doing copy and then doing paste created a copy of the object perfectly overlapped with the original one.

Probably, someone decided that this behavior was not the most desirable one, since it made the "copy" somehow invisible, because of its being perfectly overlapped. Maybe, it also caused users to forget about the copy, leading to designs with multiple copies of the same object one over the other.

Hence, the paste routine was modified to paste the object in a position with some offset with respect to the original position.

This would be very good, if the positioning was predictable (e.g. always 1 grid unit right and down with respect to the original position). Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Hence, when you copy and paste an object the copy goes into a totally random position, which leads to a very bad usage impairment.

- Objects that used to be aligned to the grid loose their alignment and need to be manually aligned again;

- Copying the same object from a slide to the next one in a presentation causes the object to take a different position. So, if one wants the object at the same position, it needs to be manually re-positioned (note that having little skew in positions with the dissolve transition effect looks extremely bad).

- Objects are ofted pasted out of the slide/drawing and often out of the area that is visible on screen at the current zoom level, giving the impression that the paste operation has failed.
