Description: When I cut and paste from another document, the source's formatting overwrites the destination's. I would expect the default to be to for the software to update the pasted text's format to match the destination's style and Paste Special to have an option to "Retain source document's formatting" It seems there isn't an option on Paste Special which allows me to do this and the only work-around I can find is to paste the text, change the Paragraph Style to something else (e.g. Title) and then back to Text Body. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create two odt documents with different styles (font, size etc) 2. Cut and paste from one to the other 3. Note how destination document is now "contaminated" with the wrong style Actual Results: My destination document is formatted to Text Body: Liberation Serif 12 pt The following line is pasted from a destination document… This is the source Text Body: Liberation Sans 12 pt. Expected Results: My destination document is formatted to Text Body: Liberation Serif 12 pt The following line is pasted from a destination document… This is the source Text Body: Liberation Sans 12 pt updated to Liberation Serif 12 pt [not that you can see the formatting in a text box :) ] Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: n/a
