When I try to copy-paste objects that are already present on the whiteboard after Ctrl-V is pressed what gets pasted is previously selected object. Only when I choose to Copy the object using the whiteboard’s toolbar this bug disappears and from the second and further pushes of Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V everything works as expected.

Works fine for me. Are you sure that when you pressed ctr+c on first turn the whiteboard in question was in focus?

I’m not denying your bug report. I’m looking for exact stets to reproduce it. Just saying it is not that easy to do.

I understand. I just tried again and could not reproduce it. So I’ll monitor this.
