Description:
When editing existing text, two common situations are:

  1. Select a whole word and type something to delete it and replace it with new text.

  2. Select the few first characters of a word and type to delete and replace with new text.

When the initial word to change has formatting different from the rest of the paragraph, I intuitively expect that the newly typed characters use the same formatting as the deleted piece. This is what happens in case 1., but not in case 2. for which the formatting of the text to the left of the cursor is used.

Could we have consistent behavior between cases 1. and 2.?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Impress document.
2. Click on "Click to add Text" to place the cursor.
3. Type "aaa bbb ccc".
4. Select "bbb" (without including the spaces) and change the font color to red.
5. Select the first "b" and type "B" to capitalize the word.

Actual Results:
The replacement text "B" appears black.

Expected Results:
The replacement text "B" appears red.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
If at step 5., you select the whole word "bbb" to replace it with "B", here the "B" appears red, which is I think the expected behaviour. For a word of length N>1, the problem happens only when selecting up to N-1 characters (starting from the first letter of the word).
