TYPO3 Core

I think to have a similar problem with TYPO3 CMS 4.5.25, no versioning and no workspaces.

If I use drag'n'drop in the pagetree with CTRL pressed to copy recursive a pagetree,
the copied page is gray and visible directly, but has the same PID as the original.
The subpage or only at least some them become visisble after pressing the pagetree
reload button. After reload the page has a new PID.

It happens that after some time (working as admin) an error message appears:
"Attempt to rawcopy/versionize record without copy permission".

This also affects TYPO3 6.2. This is particularly a problem if the editor is impatient (or perhaps the AJAX request times out) and wants to delete the copied page before the copy process is finished.

as far as I can see on version 9, when you copy a part of the pagetree (be sure to activate recursive copy in your user settings) , the whole pagertee section becomes "grayed" (overlayed with the spinning circle) so it seems it is not possible to interact with it until the copy has finished. I have not tested with a very large set of pages, so I don't know if the part about a message like "Attempt to rawcopy/versionize record without copy permission". can be still valid.
