In the thread on bug 100018 there was agreement that the current behavior -- changing the target style to the source style if the target style is empty, but changing the source style to the target style if there is even one character -- is unexpected and strange to the user. Consider the following case: I write a paragraph, say in default style or text body style or whatever, incorporating a quotation. I decide that I want to have the quotation be in quotation style. I select and cut the text, create a new paragraph and set it to quotation style. If I paste the text without typing any new character, it will reset to default or text body or whatever style. If I type a space, then it will paste as quotation style, exactly as the user expects. I cannot see any circumstance under which a user would deliberately set a style and paste text into it and *not* expect the text to be changed to the selected style (while retaining character attributes like bold and italics and whatever). Separately, I don't know how to "file a special ticket" -- do you mean add a comment to this effect to that thread? I'm happy to do that. Thank you. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
