Using Inkscape with Other Programs Inkscape only pastes as BMP after windows upgrade to version 11

    My recent upgrade from windows 10 to 11 had the most strange side effect: When I copy a region on Inkscape and paste into Libreoffice Writer it no longer pastes as a vectorial object (I can't remember if it was GDI) but as a BMP image.

    I was using Inkscape 1.3 (0e150ed6c4, 2023-07-21) and LibreOffice 6 something. So I thought the problem was using older versions on Windows 11, and I updated to LibreOffice 7 and Inkscape 1.3.1. The problem just persisted.

    I could save the SVG and drag and drop on LibreOffice but the text sections just got unaligned.

    Also, this is not very optimal for me. I usually create charts with Libre Calc, copy the resulting graphic on Inkscape, make a few changes, and copy again on Writer. This last step is now resulting in unacceptable low-res BMPs.

    What really makes me wonder is why updating the operating system caused such a mess. Is there something that I could do on windows, some clipboard options perhaps, or it may be a bug Inkscape on windows 11?

    Thanks
