Description: When inserting a new row in a table, Writer copies the row's formattings both at the level of paragraphs and characters, even though we should avoid to copy the direct character formattings. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an empty Writer Document 2. Create a table 3. Write "TEXTREDTEXT" in the last cell 4. Select the portion "RED" from the text, and apply a specific Font color on it 5. Place the cursor in the last cell, and insert a new row after it (simply press TAB to do this) 6. Write something into the new last cell of the table Actual Results: The newly typed text will be the same color, what you set in as a direct character formatting. Expected Results: The newly typed text should be black (default). Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: This bug is a regression of https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143244 The reason why this regression happened is that: MSO Word uses a paragraph mark symbol (i.e the control character than can be configured to be shown), which is imported in Writer as a 0-length hint. To fasten up the import of DOCX tables, the core applies the formattings from this 0-length attribute on paragraph level, directly before inserting a new row. All in all, to solve this bug, we need to make sure, that we only copy the formattings, if it is a 0-length hint.
I don't reproduce this. Please attach document and put screenshot inside it.
Reproduced in 7.3+ for steps.
