Description:
After copying a layer, the 'paste' command is disabled.

How to repeat:
1) Create a new EER Diagram.
2) Draw a layer on the diagram.
3) Right-click the layer, and select "Copy 'New Layer'"
4) Right-click the diagram 'Paste' is disabled.

Suggested fix:
I think this is related to bug #47437 and bug #38432

at any rate, you should be allowed to copy and paste layers.  The copy option is there, and is assumed that it's working, but for some reason you can't paste the layers.

suggested fix is to allow the pasting of layers in diagrams.

An entry has been added to the 5.2.22 changelog:

In the EER Diagram view, it was not possible to paste a copied layer. The paste menu item was disabled in the context-sensitive menu and main menu, and also pressing Ctrl+V had no effect.
