I have the same problem with cutting and pasting. So far, I haven't found a 
solution. This looks related to CatalogAwareness. (I copied a traceback 
snippet below for reference). I can still copy and paste a ZClass Instance, 
then delete the original instance.

As for renaming, I can rename the instances OK. Can you see the IDs of your 
instances? If you cannot see the ID values on the property pages and cannot 
access them from DTML take a look at this draft document: 
<http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/ZClassIDBug>. It might help.


Cheers.
