Well... I wish it was my logic...
It seems the logic of every other application...

You got it totally wrong!!!
If the user does not select ANYTHING then:
1. Modifying style modify the style of the whole paragraph.
2. Modifying font/character attribute is modification to future characters.
3. If you like some more examples just tell me... I can write a complete 
algorithm.

If the user SELECT/MARK a region, what we call "selection"
1. Modifying style modify all the paragraphs in the selection.
2. Modify font/character attribute is modification of the exact selection.
3. again...

So... Nothing is flawed here... BTW: Please refer to other applications as 
well.

If the user copy/cut selection, no part of the document should be modified. 
(Edge condition: If the user cut a selection in a middle of paragraph up-to 
and including end-of-paragraph mark, the remaining paragraph text should 
remain as a paragraph)

If you paste a selection which end with an end-of-paragraph mark, then the 
selection will be pasted will not affect any other text. (Edge condition: If 
the selection is paste in a middle of a paragraph, the beggining of the 
paragraph receives the attributes of the selection).

This tells nothing.

Great... So you forbit user to user Copy/Cut/Paste to do the job... This is 
not a valid approach... Fix the algorithm and you have both ways.

You know better than users what they do... Well... I must ask you... What if I 
really have the need to move a paragraph and not a complete chapter...? Is it 
too much to ask?

Instead discuss the issue... You tell me not to use selections...
I must say that this is unexpected either... :)
