An example document for reproducing the issue

Reproduction instructions
--------------------------

1. Open the attached example.odt.
2. Select paragraphs Three through Five (ending the selection at the beginning of paragraph six).
3. Copy the selection.
4. Move the cursor to any point within paragraph Six.
5. Paste.

Expected results:

The pasted copies of, at least, paragraphs Four and Five should maintain their individual list styles.

Actual results:

All pasted paragraphs take on the list style of paragraph One.


Bug description
-------------------

If one pastes multiple paragraphs (with various list styles applied), at a point within a paragraph with its own list style - that style is applied to all pasted paragraphs.


IMO, the possible valid behaviors would be:

1. Keep all pasted paragraph list styles, applying the first pasted paragraph's list style to the point of pasting. Apply the paste location paragraph's list style to the last, non-full-paragraph part of the selection.
2. Keep pasted paragraph list styles for all but the first complete pasted paragraphs, applying the paste location paragraph's list style to the first pasted paragraph and to the last, non-full-paragraph part of the selection.
3. Anything, but present a pop-up or allow a key combination to choose to retain the pasted paragraph's list (and other?) styles.

Please: 
- add screenshot of your selection and paste (best in document)
- search for numerous other bugs, closed and open, for discussion on paste style.
