One of the things that drives people nuts about Omnigraffle is its insistance on pasting an object to a different location from where it was copied.
The new location is usually offset from the original location by a horizontal/vertical distance equal to the grid size, but sometimes - especially when pasting to a different canvas - it lands at a seemingly random location altogether.
There is an easy workaround. Instead of pressing Command+V to paste, press Command+Shift+V. This always pastes to the copied location, whether on the same canvas or a different canvas.
Once you learn this, you will never press Command+V without Shift again.
This had been driving me crazy. God love you. And a pox on Omnigroup's UI and interaction designers, who should be shot at the first opportunity. Twice, just to be sure.
