Version: svn (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux Copying a portion of text which has specific formatting and then pasting to some other block applies the formating of the clipboard content to the entire block. Also, in certain situations when that doesn't happen, when copying a portion of text and pasting it in the same block multiple times, only the last paste retains the original formatting. All the previous pastes keep losing their formatting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: For the first problem: 1) Create two paragraphs of text with different formatting and colour 2) Copy a portion of text from the first paragraph 3) Paste it somewhere in the second paragraph For the second problem: 1) Create two paragraphs of text 2) Change the formatting and colour of second paragraph 3) Copy a portion of text from first paragraph 4) Paste it repeatedly into the second paragraph Actual Results: Formatting and colour are not preserved. Expected Results: Formatting and colour of the pasted text as well as the block in which it is pasted should be preserved
confirmed with opensuse 11.3 using cut-paste in kword 2.2.2 on kde 4.5.2
Having just re-opened the document related to my comment above, the font formatting issue caused the apparent loss of five pages of text (no, it was a font colour issue) with only the initial paragraph remaining. Resetting the font colour upset the font size.
Further, I've just realised that I lost bold formatting but not underlining
Pasting uses the odf loading code and just calls KoTextLoader::loadBody from what I see this code is currently not able to insert text in the middle of a paragraph.
