I personally think that the above mentioned behavior is inconsistent and might
cause confusion. I think that the relation between the where-you-paste-from and
the overwriting/non-overwriting is hard to understand and thus not user
friendly.

Also I think that the following assumption from the comment #26 is just
speculation:

--- cut ---
"But when pasting from draw to writer, you supposedly have nothing selected,
and if, you may WANT to overwrite this keeping the placement."
--- cut ---

I do not like that when applications tries to be clever and do surprising
things.

I am sorry. I do not have time to test the patch.

To be honest. I have newer done huge documents or graphics in LibreOffice. I am
not 100% sure what is the preferred behavior. I have got involved into this bug
because it was my turn to take care of pending patches when the first patch was
waiting in gerrit. All my comments are inspired just by my common sense.
