This may be convenient but the usability costs are IMHO too high. Copying
characters from a paragraph to another should not change the targets paragraphs
style.

Side node on copying paragraph styles: Old MS word (sorry for referencing this)
had a notion of a paragraph style char at the end of each paragraph (a mirrored
P). Copying this special charactr (with or without preceding characters) copied
the paragraph style. This is IHMO a good solution.

But please look at the original bug report: The bug is that copying characters
from a paragraph in an existing document in the _same_ paragraph in the _same_
document changes the style of this paragraph - I cannot imagine any explanation
that this can be correct.
