Inkscape 1.0, 1.1 clipboard no longer readable by Microsoft Visio

Summary:

Copying graphics from Inkscape and pasting to Microsoft Visio no longer functions.

Steps to reproduce:

• Open Inkscape 1.0 or 1.1.
• Draw anything. A rectangle, or make a text block.
• Copy the newly-drawn graphics.
• In Visio 2019 (Office 365) , open a blank drawing.
• Right-click to paste the graphics into Visio.

Paste is grayed out. There is seemingly no data.

What happened?

Paste was grayed out, as though there was no "useful" data in the clipboard.

What should have happened?

Paste should have been enabled. You could then have pasted the InkScape data into Visio. The results would have been useful vector graphics, that could be ungrouped, and manipulated in Visio.

This functioned perfectly with Inkscape 0.92.5, and likely as far back as Visio 2013. I can't verify the Visio 2013 anymore, but an article I wrote was likely using that version, and whatever version of Inkscape was prevalent in 2015. (My article: http://www.visguy.com/2015/03/01/text-outlines-in-visio/)

I have re-verified that copy-from-inkscape paste-to-Visio (Office 365, Plan 2) functions with Inkscape 0.92.5, but not Inkscape 1.0 nor 1.1.

You can paste into Word or Excel, but these appear to be receiving a windows metafile data, whereas Visio USED to receive useful vector data that could be ungrouped, formatted, filled, line-styled, etc. So comparing Word/Excel to Visio isn't very good, since the other two are not drawing packages.

Visio 2019 - "Office 365 Plan 2" - this is a perpetual license, but I believe Visio handled SVG-pasting since at least Visio 2013.
