Created attachment 193002 [details] The example file after clicking Clone Formatting on the empty area of the textbox When the Clone Formatting is applied to an empty area of a textbox, all paragraphs in the textbox get the cloned formatting. 1. Open attachment 192963 [details] 2. Highlight one of the paragraphs, for example the red colored one 3. Press the Clone Formatting button 4. Click on an empty area of the textbox -> every paragraph gets the cloned formatting It would make sense to not apply the cloned formatting at all if the click arrives on a clear area in a textbox (this is what PP 2016 does, and what older LO did).
