Sample ODT

- Open the attached ODT document,
- Select the first word after the list ("dddd"), and copy it to the clipboard,
- Paste it into the empty list line.

=> Direct formatting is removed in the pasted line.
Font size was 16 pt from direct formatting, both in the line and the copied text, and it's reset to 12 pt.

This only happens with default paste, pasting as unformatted text is a workaround.

Observed using LO 26.8.0.0.alpha0+ (02-17).

Happens since the following commit in 7.5 and its 7.4 backport:
