paste doesn't convert geometry or give error on incompatible geometry

[kyngchaos]

For example, I'm working in a PostGIS multipolygon layer. I copy a polygon (not multi) from a shapefile and paste it into the postGIS layer. QGIS doesn't give me a warning or convert the polygon to a multipolygon, and editing works fine on the feature. But when I try to save the PostGIS layer, QGIS now gives me an error that there is an invalid geometry type and a feature wasn't saved (the one I pasted in).

I would like it to convert the polygon to multipolygon, and other simple conversions. But at least QGIS should refuse to paste and give a warning about a geometry mismatch.

Hmm, it looks like even copying from a multipolygon layer (both shapefile and another PostGIS layer) is not working. I still get invalid geometry.

Now at least copying from a similar postgis multipolygon layer seems to be working. Still can't copy from the shapefile.

Definitely something with copying from a shapefile to postgis. I converted the shapefile to a multipolygon postgis layer outside QGIS, added that layer to QGIS, and copy from that to my postgis layer works.
