On LibreOffice Draw I am able to use the Clone button to copy the formatting of an object. The Clone button is available in the standard user interface. However, when I switch to the Tabbed Interface, I cannot find the Clone button. I think it may have been accidentally left out when the Tabbed Interface was created.
Confirmed Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha1+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ff2ba77f22b2e96f96f5537aec1705956b47583d CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.12; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
The real problem is that the Clone button in LO Draw is only available in the "Text" tab, which appears in textboxes for instance. Also, the "Clear Direct Format" only appears in the Text tab. What needs to be done is to add the "Clone" and "Clear Direct Format" to the "Draw" and "Home" tabs as well.
