--- Comment #22 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. While the need is clear for
footnotes and endnotes (bug 100018), we have a well-known workflow in general.
What we can do is:

a) Keep the source PS not only for empty target paragraphs but also ignore all
white-space: when pasting somewhere in the middle of a paragraph it is very
unlikely that the source PS should be applied, so just ignoring white-space
might solve the actual problem
b) Introduce a new paste special option (or a new UNO command in order to
assign a shortcut) that pastes without paragraph style but not unformatted:
with this option the user can decide whether the target PS is overridden or
not; the current behavior of paste and paste special wouldn't change
c) Enhance the PS attributes by a flag "[ ] Override style on paste" that
allows to define individually whether or not pasting formatted clipboard
content should change the target PS; this solution could be used for Footnotes
as requested in bug 100018
