Description Danat 2026-04-02 21:19:10 UTC 
Description:
So when you copy a cell - only its text is copied and not its colour. I wish you could also opt to paste the colour in a pop-up window

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make a table of 2 cells
2.Colour the right cell in red
3.Copy the red cell
4.Select the left cell
5.Paste

Actual Results:
The left cell will not recolour into red

Expected Results:
Ability to choose to paste cells with their colours or just contents


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I colour cells. I does happen that I need to paste many cells with their colours, but I have to manually recolour each cell because their colours get messed up upon pasting
