Description: Calc SOMETIMES doesn't paste font attributes. Steps to Reproduce: 0. open attached .ODS(all steps and expected results are included in the .ODS) observe: Cell B2 is set to Arial 10; the default font for the document is Liberation Sans 10 (not sure why – I didn't set it to be) 1. enter B2 2. select the I of Italic and copy 3. paste into B5 result: it gets the Italic right, but changes font to Liberation Sans 4. return to B2 and select the B of Bold 5. paste into B8 Actual Results: Italic Liberation Sans Expected Results: Bold Arial non-italic General User Expectation: when you select a character and paste, it should paste the formatting attributes along with the character Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: In this case it fails to act as expected, but in other cases it does behave that way, so this is not a feature or an enhancement – it's a bug because the behavior is not consistent or predictable. 1. Calc doesn't behave like every other computer program, where a copied selection retains its font attributes 2. Calc doesn't behave like every other computer program, where a typing into a selected region retains the font attributes of the selected region (this is a different report) 3. These behaviors are bizarre, and in my opinion, terribly misguided, but even if you argue that they're in some way an improvement over the way everyone has always done it, Calc STILL doesn't apply its aberrant behavior consistently! To defy user expectations, but only some of the time, really adds insult to injury.

While testing this report, Telesto created bug 108376, which I think expresses the problem more clearly. I will close this as duplicate. So in a nutshell: if you enter B5 or B8 and select the contents before pasting, the result is correct. If you simply paste without activating the input mode, this crap happens. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 108376 ***
