            Bug ID: 108332
           Summary: Pasted characters use wrong formatting/font in some
                    cases
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: timbacontent at gmail.com

Description:
Calc SOMETIMES doesn't paste font attributes.

Steps to Reproduce:
0. open attached .ODS(all steps and expected results are included in the .ODS)
observe: Cell B2 is set to Arial 10; the default font for the document is
Liberation Sans 10 (not sure why – I didn't set it to be)
1. enter B2
2. select the I of Italic and copy
3. paste into B5
result: it gets the Italic right, but changes font to Liberation Sans
4. return to B2 and select the B of Bold
5. paste into B8

Actual Results:  
Italic Liberation Sans



Expected Results:
Bold Arial non-italic

General User Expectation: when you select a character and paste, it should
paste the formatting attributes along with the character



Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
In this case it fails to act as expected, but in other cases it does behave
that way, so this is not a feature or an enhancement – it's a bug because the
behavior is not consistent or predictable.

1. Calc doesn't behave like every other computer program, where a copied
selection retains its font attributes
2. Calc doesn't behave like every other computer program, where a typing into a
selected region retains the font attributes of the selected region (this is a
different report)
3. These behaviors are bizarre, and in my opinion, terribly misguided, but even
if you argue that they're in some way an improvement over the way everyone has
always done it, Calc STILL doesn't apply its aberrant behavior consistently! To
defy user expectations, but only some of the time, really adds insult to
injury.
