I've been using Inkscape on my Mac for many years. I have Inkscape 0.91 installed. In the last couple of weeks, when I select an object and copy it, then try to paste it, it is pasting the thing as a bitmap. Meaning nothing about the object can be changed, its color, font, etc. It's never done this before, and I'm not aware of any recent updates to my OS or to the software. I am doing the same thing I've always done, Ctrl-C to copy and Ctrl-V to paste. What is happening and how do I go back to normal pasting behavior?
Beyond the Basics Paste is misbehaving: pasting as a bitmap

Probably this: https://inkscape.org/learn/faq/#copypaste-rasterizes-objects
I can't say why it has only started recently.
Thank you very much, that does indeed sound like the problem! Much appreciated.
