You are welcome. But aside the sarcasm, you should know that the bug tracker is
a tool that enables developers to fix bugs that users report. And in order to
be efficient, this tool needs some rules to follow. One of them is "one issue
per one report". If it is ignored, the report having multiple problems mixed up
is practically impossible to track if it is fixed or not, and in which stage
the work on it. It doesn't make life better (neither user's nor developers) to
bring the report to unusable state by cluttering it with different problems.

> Please tell me how I can file an enhancement request in a bug report system.
You just need to set the "severity" field (in this particular issue it is
currently set to "normal") to "enhancement".

> I edited the title of the bug to reflect on the actual issue.
As I tried to describe a few lines above, this step is useless. You experience
a number of issues, and each one should be tracked separately (or otherwise you
risk to be unable to attract any developers to fix them). If I understand it,
in some earlier versions, the selected text wasn't copied to "replace" field at
all. If this is true, and this works now, then this issue should be closed as
WORKSFORME (this means that this issue was fixed by an unknown commit), and
should not be reused for other, however related, issues. Only if I
misunderstood the initial report, and the problem was the lack of formatting in
copied autocorrect item, then this issue could be rightfully reopened.

As I said in comment 2, this specific problem was already fixed. The fix should
be available in 4.1.3.

I agree with you. This is very annoying for me, too, and creates troubles to my
co-workers (we use LO at work for quite some time). Although we don't encounter
problems in this specific area, this seems to be a valid enhancement request,
that I urge you to file as a separate report.

I don't close this bug, but please do it yourself if this sounds reasonable.

Thank you for your time reporting problems! This really makes the software
better.
