What you suggest works (both cut-n-paste and copy-n-paste)

Copy-n-paste done with either the mouse (i.e., right-click
for pop-up menus) or with the menu (the main menu,
option "Edit") does not work.

That is:

- Open sch #1
- Select the section of interest
- Right-click on it
- Click on "Copy" on the pop-up menu
- Menu File -> Open and open sch #2

At this point, right-click does not show option Paste,
and the menu Edit -> Paste does nothing  (I click on
the background area of the editor, before pasting,
after pasting --- neither has any effect).  Ctrl-V does,
however, paste ok having made the Copy with the
right-click --> copy.

Anyway, I'll keep it in mind to use the keyboard for
clipboard operations --- might still be good to file it
as a "low/medium priority bug" for future releases?

Thanks,
Carlos
