PD to me is the world of workarounds ;-)
while i also used to be a little irritated by this copy behaviour, i
almost automatically do it like Roman these days (the "duplicate" method).
another possibility is to copy what you want, do a "select all"
afterwards, then "shift+right" to move everything 10 pixels to the right
and THEN do the pasting.
probably even better: copy, paste, and immediately after pasting press
shift-down to move the pasted content 10 pixels down
while i also think pasting should happen in a better way, in my daily
patching life it really became a very very minor issue - whereas ...

... the fact that there is only one (!) undo step is the much more
serious issue !
@miller: could this be upgraded in the next release ? ;-)
