Bug affects internal copy and paste operations too, not just to external
terminals.

I just upgraded from v5.3.5 to v5.4.7.2 and this bug pretty makes the new
version unusable for us. This is not because we're pasting to a terminal but
because it also happens when pasting elsewhere in the same ODT document. We
make extensive use of bulleted paragraph styles and we are now having to
manually delete extraneous space and bullet characters every time we copy and
paste. We were already using unformatted pastes to avoid the longstanding
problem of otherwise creating new bulleted paragraphs that cannot be unbulleted
without manually clearing the paragraph style, but that no longer works,
leaving us with no practical workaround.

To be clear, when I do an unformatted paste within an ODT document, I do NOT
expect to get ANY formatting remnants of the source paragraph style. To me
"unformatted text" means "plain text" devoid of formatting.

I have attached a demonstration of the mess this bug creates.

Please update the title of this bug report to reflect its much larger effect.

Please raise the priority of this bug as it effectively breaks unformatted
paste.
