... not relevant to this bug.

All features are convenience features. One can always edit an ODF file
manually. The use of this term is suspicious.

Cell formatting is application of style + DF. When you clone-format, you clone
the style and the DF.

(facepalm!)

1. This bug was opened about the fact that clone-formatting _does_ affect the
merged state - it breaks up the cells. You're claiming that it doesn't? That's
nonsensical. In fact, in the design meeting, the conclusion was that the
clone-formatting _should_ affect the merged state.

2. This bug is about cloning DF, not cloning styles. Given that the cells are
broken up, the complaint is that the DF is applied to just one of them.

3. No, the style is _not_ applied to all of the cells! Just to the first one.
If you change the style of D3 in the reproduction instruction to some other
style (e.g. "my_style" with a blue background) - only the first of the
broken-up cells will get "my_style" and the blue background; the rest will
remain in Default Style.
