--- Comment #13 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Testing with the "formatted dummy text" extension [1] that has
<H1>First Chapter
    <H2>Hidden Text
    <H2>Fiels
<H1>Second Chapter
    <H2>Image
    <H2>Table
    <H2>Chart
    <H2>Formula

If I fold only "Second Chapter" and keep everything below expanded only this
heading is copied. Adding another chapter allows to extend the selection and I
get the warning dialog (with misleading text; guess it's just taken from
another place). Cutting an unfolded heading with or without extending it to the
next paragraph works only on this selection.
Promote/Demote works on items with the same status. If all subchapters are
expanded everything moves up. If only "Image" is folded along with "Second"
these two go up and the other become part of the other H1 chapter.

So we have three different topics, at least. First of all, the text is
misleading. If cutting folded content is forbidden we should say it. The
"hidden section" text belongs to hidden sections. Second, the OP obviously has
treeviews in mind where operations on nodes are applied to children. The
opposite view considers the selection of a heading only, without any content
below. True but not easy to understand, however. What bothers me more is the
inconsistency when moving content with or without folded children. Safest
solution is probably to always keep the folded content together.
