[Zope] Re: Solution for copy/paste Problem of June?

[Grégoire Weber]

I "solved" the problem for me inserting

   obj._getCopy(container) # obj is the original object to be copy&pasted

somewhere in my own code before manage_pasteObjects gets called.
I know, it's not a proper solution.

Is this a bug?
