Your "Steps to Reproduce:" miss the very first step

0. Select the text, whose format should be cloned
1. ...
2. ...

Did you do step "0. Select ..." and is your description incomplete or did you really miss this step?

You didn't say what you checked. 
Help is clear for paragraph: 
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/shared/guide/paintbrush.html

This seems like NotABug.

I tried it both with original paragraph selected and not. Have seen that help section.

I says:
"By default only the character formatting is copied ; to include paragraph formatting, hold down Ctrl when you click. To copy only the paragraph formatting, hold down Ctrl+Shift when you click."
