I don't understand on what basis you're asserting "that won't be accepted by
users." In the thread on <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - Styled source text copied to footnote should use footnote's paragraph style"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=100018">bug 100018</a> there was agreement that the current
behavior -- changing the target style to the source style if the target style
is empty, but changing the source style to the target style if there is even
one character -- is unexpected and strange to the user. Consider the following
case: I write a paragraph, say in default style or text body style or whatever,
incorporating a quotation. I decide that I want to have the quotation be in
quotation style. I select and cut the text, create a new paragraph and set it
to quotation style. If I paste the text without typing any new character, it
will reset to default or text body or whatever style. If I type a space, then
it will paste as quotation style, exactly as the user expects. I cannot see any
circumstance under which a user would deliberately set a style and paste text
into it and *not* expect the text to be changed to the selected style (while
retaining character attributes like bold and italics and whatever).
Separately, I don't know how to "file a special ticket" -- do you mean add a
comment to this effect to that thread? I'm happy to do that. Thank you.</pre>
