Hi,

Yes, you misunderstood. The problem is when a new style has been selected *but
nothing has yet been written in the new style*, and then something in a
different style is pasted into it. The pasting reverts the new selected style
back to the old style. This is most prominent and problematic in footnotes, but
it happens across the board. E.g., try writing something in default style, then
set a new line to a different style (Heading 1 or whatever), but don't write
anything. Then copy the line written in default style and paste it into the new
line set to the different style but which hasn't had anything written yet.
Actual result is that the pasted text reverts to the old style, while expected
result is that the text is pasted in the new selected style.

I just tried this with 6.3.4.2 and the bug is still present.
