Description:
I have a short line of text, Arial, 12pt.  The first few words in the line are plain text.  They are followed by a few more words that are italicized.  I copy the line from a row in a table in document 1 and paste it into a row in a table in document 2.  Before I paste it, I click the destination row to select it and then click Bold in the toolbar, intending that the line appear with the original formatting plus that Bold formatting. And that works fine in release 7.3.  Now in 7.4.0.3 (x64) what happens is that the destination row inherits all of the original formatting and ignores my selection of the Bold formatting, in fact the Bold is deselected from the toolbar and Italics is selected, I assume because the pasted line ends with a few italicized words. I don't know if you consider this a bug or not but I'm a creature of habit and this is a departure from how Writer has worked for me since forever. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make a line of text like this but with the last 3 or 4 words italicized.
2.Copy it.
3.Paste it into a row in a Writer table after selecting (clicking) that row in the table and selecting Bold on the formatting toolbar.

Actual Results:
After pasting, note that the pasted line is not formatted Bold and is otherwise unchanged from what you copied. Also note that the toolbar now shows that Bold is not selected and Italics is selected (which it wasn't).

Expected Results:
The pasted line should have been formatted Bold and otherwise unchanged, i.e., plain text followed by italicized text.  Software should have behaved as it did in 7.3 and prior versions, IMO.
