Copy paste within Footprint Editor not saving

Description

When copying features from one footprint to another inside the Footprint Editor, changes are not actually saved.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a footprint in Footprint Editor
  2. Copy some features to clipboard (line segments, text, pads, etc)
  3. Open another footprint
  4. Paste contents of clipboard (this step works as expected)
  5. Save the footprint
  6. Close, and re-open the footprint you pasted into
  7. Notice that the features you pasted are missing
