I've not been able to connect to Bugzilla for ages, so I'm afraid I have to send the bug report to the list. Sorry.
Cut and paste is bad at preserving formatting. To see this, set up a document with styles that differ from the built-in defaults. Cut a fragment of a paragraph, and paste it elswhere. Some formatting is lost. In particular, language information is lost. (For example, if I cut en-US text and paste to elsewhere in an en-US document, it gets pasted as en-GB.) Now try with a whole paragraph. The paragraph following the pasted one loses any special paragraph formatting. (Justified text, indented first line, space before, etc.) Also, Abi doesn't like you trying to select a multi-line paragraph. If you click and drag in the margins to select by line, you also select the paragraph return closing the previous paragraph. Indeed, this happens if you try to select the first line of any paragraph. A paragraph should include the closing, but not the opening, paragraph return, because the first paragraph in a document doesn't have an opening return but it does have a closing one.
