%%%r41209 64 Bit, Win 7, 64 Bit

I cannot longer simply copy n paste keyframes and poses. I get a No keyframes to paste warning when i try to paste a copied keyframe in the dope sheet. Same with poses, nothing happens.The same procedure works with an older Blender build though, in this case 38255. So i dont think i do anything wrong here. I can get the keyframe to copy and paste by selecting the whole skeleton. But shouldnt copy a selected keyframe select and copy all the keyframes in it, without the need to grab the corresponding bones in the workspace? As told, it works fine in older builds. There i just select the keyframe, copy it, and paste it at the destination location.

Attached the file where it happens.%%%

%%%The real "error" here is that it simply requires some F-Curves to be selected before it tries to do anything.

However, several fixes can happen here:

The error messages however are a bit misleading, and that is something that I'll fix, since it's definitely not giving the error messages intended.
Perhaps an alternative behaviour for the "nothing selected" case is needed, where we just paste back into the original curves again (this kindof duplicates the shift-d "duplicate" functionality though, but I guess this might be a cause of confusion for new users used to just thinking in terms of "copy and paste"?). Will mull over this one a bit more...%%%

%%%Fixed the error messages in svn.

As for the second fix mentioned, it's probably more of a slight inconvenience rather than an oversight/unintended behaviour. So I think I'll leave things the way they are here for now, and we can re-evaluate this again later.%%%
