Copy-Workflow

One file is opened in each of two LO DRAW instances. Both files have already been edited, saved, and are not new.

Objects whose font, font size, fill color and transparency, and line color and transparency have been changed are selected and copied. The changes to these objects are not new and have already been saved.

The copied objects are pasted into the file of the second instance... And here's the bug:  In doing so, you lose the changes to the appearance that were made in the file of the first instance. The background color, font, and font size are lost.

diese ist die Version meines LO (siehe Attachement)

Ich kann es auf 2 Windows-Rechnern reproduzieren.
Auch die ARM-Version (Windows 11 ARM, snapdragon elite) zeigt dieses Verhalten
