Using Windows XP, OOo 3.2.1 and with the build 9502, I was able to reproduce
this bug.

Although, there was some discrepancy on how I reproduced the bug. The steps I
took is as follows:

1. Drew the shape of an arrow using 3 lines.
2. Selected the lines one-by-one using the SHIFT-key and using Ctrl-C to copy 
them.
3. Creating a few spaces between the originally drawn arrow, pasted the copied
arrow Crtl-V, only to find that there was no problem.
4. Drew another arrow below the copied arrow and copied that one exactly like
Step 2.
5. Creating a few spaces between the new arrow, pasted the new copied arrow
using Crtl-V, to find that the position of the arrows were misaligned.

It seems that the bug only occurs when a second copy is made on another set of
shapes. It may be that somehow an internal or external factor is not allowing
the lines to be assigned proper locations, which causes the misalignment.

The problem does not only affect drawing of lines, but other shapes as well, for
example, the oval and the rectangle. Right after I discovered the bug, I
immediately tried to do the same with ovals, creating 3 ovals that overlapped
each other (but still able to see each one), and then pasting them, again to
find that the alignment of the ovals were off from the original. And ditto with
the rectangles.

The shapes do not need to be in threes and can also be unconnected for this bug
to occur as well.

I've attached a file with the reproduction of the bug and with the other
examples of the bug that I've encountered.

It seems that the you can also reproduce the bug by using the mouse (Drag a box
around the shapes, copy them using Crtl-C and the right-clicking and selecting
Paste in the drop-down menu). Using different methods of copying with the mouse
and keyboard still reveals the bug, so this would not be a way to get around the
problem.

An easy way I've found to get around this bug is to just open up a new document,
create the shapes you want, copy them and then paste them into the document you
were working on.

This bug does not seem to create huge problems, but may be very annoying for
beginner users or people who do not use computers very often. It would obviously
be better if this bug did not occur and that it would be fixed as soon as 
possible.
