Not if the two buttons have distinct icons (with the paragraph one using the
old icon, and the cell one using a new one); have labels and tooltips
explaining the difference; only both show up when current cell's background BG
color is not "None", and cell BG color is "None" (otherwise only the cell
button shows up); and are well documented in Help pages and Release Notes.

Anyway, I'm not a developer, and I know it's hard to implement what I just
said.  So let's just agree to disagree here.  I see the current situation as an
UX problem, you don't; and until someone else chimes in, it's rather
counter-productive to continue the discussion.
