Description:
The "Copy Connection nn" option on the context menu of a connection does not seem to have a complementary "Paste Connection".
The Edit menu has a greyed out "Paste Connection" option.

How to repeat:
Right click a connection in an EER Diagram.
Choose the "Copy Connection nn" option.
Look for someway to "Paste" the connection.

Suggested fix:
Provide a way to paste a connection between 2 selected objects.

its inconsisten implementation first hand ... if we dont allow to paste we shouldnt offer "copy" ... so we have to fix that.

cut/copy of connection lines is not allowed anymore (menu items are greyed out).
tested in bzr rev 3106

The Copy Connection nn menu item on the context menu of a connection does not have a complementary Paste Connection menu item. The Edit menu has a greyed-out Paste Connection menu item.
