Description:
When I use the clone formatting button to copy attributes (generally I just use it to copy the font size and font type), sometimes the attributes will not copy from the selected text. 

This is not normal behavior, as most of the time the clone formatting works properly, in similar situations. Furthermore, I found a way to fix this issue, implying that this is a bug.

In cases where it does not work properly, here's what seems to fix it. First, (on the text you want to copy the formatting from), you manually hit enter on the attributes, in the formatting toolbar. You should do this for all of the attributes you want to transfer, that are not transferring properly right now, to that problem line of text. 

For example, go to the formatting toolbar and hit enter on the text size and font type. (The attributes displayed in the toolbar will already be accurate, you just need to hit enter to "re-set" them.)  After re-assigning the attributes the problem will be resolved. The font formatting will properly copy to the problem text in the future, with no further issues.

Note that when this problem originally occurs, sometimes some attributes will copy fine. For instance, before re-entering the attributes, the clone formatting button might copy the text font but not the font size, to the problem line of text. 

Thank You!
