Screenshot in my 7.5.1.2

It worked in my 7.5.1.2:
Version: 7.5.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: zh-TW (zh_TW.UTF-8); UI: zh-TW
Calc: threaded

However I noticed that when you applied the background color, all the line was filled.  In my screenshot the background applied to the whole paragraph.
The format clone should work on the paragraph style, but I'm not sure what your paragraph looks like.  Maybe you can check your own paragraph format/style first.

I think that you used "character color" instead of "background color".
Cf. attachments.
Regards.

I tested as in your video with background color of text. I started with yellow background and used the brush and could add with it the background color to another string (new paragraph).
I tried this again with that line and could apply the background color with the brush to a third text line (also in a new paragraph).
Then I changed the background color in the third line and used the brush in the reverse direction (from string 3 to 1) and it works also.

Version: 7.5.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: ca8fe7424262805f223b9a2334bc7181abbcbf5e
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.14; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE
Calc: threaded

Thus the issue is resolved at least in the current version 7.5.5.
