That is correct, but I did not make anything anywhere!

Here is the problem: If you edit the cell content by double clicking on the
cell itself, the text is still formatted in the font and color which it has
under properties.

When you edit the same text in the edit line IT HAS NO properties as far as I
can see, the font is different, the font size is different, the font color and
background, all are just those as given by the system. (Sometimes only system
background color is used for displaying and color is black instead of system
colors, which makes black on brown hardly readable).

The point is still, the edit line never, ever displays any properties of the
text you are copying, so you can NOT know whether the part of the equation you
are copying is bold or not in the edit line.

Editing in the main part of the screen correctly displays all properties,
editing in the edit line does not display any property. It almost seems as if
this was made to make insertion of macros of "format system disk" type much
easier. If there was an invisible 1-megabyte property attached to a cell, and
you copy only the text, or a number in it, because you think nothing bad can
happen, and you insert it somewhere else, like your command prompt, you enter
the whole 1 megabyte into shell, correct?

 That is one amazing trick, that nobody will abuse, I'm sure! Is the same
possible in Text Editor too? Because if it is, that is a major security hole,
many times you can see word manuals that give you instructions on how to to
even simple things with your computer. You would basically allow the user
execution of infinitely large software packages in a true Trojan horse fashion.

As a bonus, it works in linux too!

Maybe I should just open notepad in wine while using LibreOffice and paste and
copy all materials while transferring them to and from the spreadsheet?
