Description evaned 2015-01-30 05:42:05 UTC
Created attachment 112937 [details]
test case

So I have no idea how I got Writer to *produce* the attached document, but it was nothing terribly fancy.

1. Open the attached document (wat.odt)
2. Note that "Test:" is bold on every line
3. Ctrl-A, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V

Expected: "Test:" is bold on every line
Actual: "Test:" is NOT bold on the list line (but it is on the others)

Note: I'm not sure what version to file this under. The document was created (and problem first experienced) using LibreOffice 4.2.7.2 from Ubuntu. However, it reproduces on 4.4.0.3 on Windows... so I just went with that.

The buggy behavior continues to happen with the attached document on 5.4.2.2, x86_64, Windows 8.1.

(I still, of course, have no idea what I did to make the document. This is probably a super low-priority bug if it's only happened with whatever I did. I also don't particularly care if it gets fixed, but I'm trying to uphold the bug-reporter responsibility of checking if it repros on newer versions. :-))

Once explained, this should be turned to documentation bug. 
Help doesn't have "paragraph end" now but it should explain insert a paragraph with or without paragraph end character, insert word with an additional space and insert sentence with a full stop.

<text:p text:style-name="P2">
<text:span text:style-name="T4">Test: </text:span>
<text:span text:style-name="T2">Abcd</text:span>
<text:p text:style-name="P4">
<text:span text:style-name="T3">Test: </text:span>
<text:span text:style-name="T2">Abcd</text:span>

Paragraphs are bold and "Test" inherits that. Abcd are excluded so non-bold.
Upon a copy, "Test" gets new paragraph and text style that is Normal so becomes non-bold.
I miss a detail why exactly T4 is changed and T2 kept. 
It's related to Bug 88380 and maybe RSIDs mentioned in Bug 86988.

I think this is the explanation:
Test: Abcd is not "B Test: /B Abcd" with "stop Bold" but "B Test: not-B Abcd" with direct format od not-Bold.
Can be seen if format is cleared before paste. 
Doesn't make sense but it's an old issue, just hard to find where mentioned first.  
I see a similar report, although I think there is an older one.
