serious export-clipping bug

I have noticed the following serious bug in all recent versions of 
Omnigraffle including, 2.1.1 beta 1 (v34.19).


*** SERIOUS ***  problems related to CLIPPING

Pick any export format:

(1) have nothing selected in document
(2) export, ANY format, all graphics or entire doc, w or w/o border space
     PRODUCES BLANK DOCUMENT - even though x,y,width,height show correctly

(1) select all
(2) export, ANY format, "selected graphics"
     PRODUCES a CLIPPED DOCUMENT (only small piece of doc)

The only work around I have found is:

(1) select all
(2) export, ANY format, entire doc

Basically, have a selection, but choose entire document export.  Without
a selection you get a blank document.  The workaround unfortunately 
creates a document with white space margin (8.5x11).

NOTE: This bugs exist in your most recent "released" version as well. 
Considering that exporting is the only reliable way to place graphics 
into other programs such as MS-word (clipboard conversion is quite 
bad), an immediate update should be posted.

I am running 10.2.3.
