I'm really not sure if the strictly dicta "it is not a bug" is well, because
sometimes it seems as a good behavior, but sometimes it seems more as a bug. 
If you have some bold word and you will paste some formatted text - for example
no-bold but italic text, then outcome will be bold&italic text. But if user
wants to paste only the copied italic text and no to get the bold&italic text,
it seems as a bug. 

There was issue in the Czech section
https://ask.libreoffice.org/cs-cz/question/202629/libreoffice-625-a-starsi-kopirovani-textu-a-jeho-formatovani/#202747.
Michal Janousek was making the English-Czech materials, he had list of the
English words (bold text) and then he copied/pasted Czech meanings with italic
formatting. And he wanted to get bold English word + italic Czech word, and no
to get bold word + bold&italic word. Clear direct format before every Paste was
unwished and jarring operation. So I made small macro with uno:commands - it
helped, but no in the 100% cases. 

The next problem is, if you want to put formatted (italic) text inside the bold
word. For example: worDD -> put cursor between bold DD (worD|D) and if you will
use Clear direct format because you want to Paste italic text there, all word
will clear. And it also seems as bug if you presume to get bold+italic+bold
text and no to get bold+bold&italic+bold, or no to get (with Clear direct
format) normal+italic+normal text. So there is "Insert the space" in the macro,
then "Clear direct format", then "Paste text", and then "Delete the inserted
space" -> then all formatting of the ambient text is intact. 

So it can seems as good behavior with unformatted text (sometimes), but for
some formatted text -> it is more complicated and more as a bug (I think).
