Consider from standard use perspective: User decides to move text from main
body to footnote. Insert footnote. Copy and delete text from main body. Click
on footnote. Paste. (disappointment)
For years I never understood why it did not work, until I discovered that if I
put a single space, then it "behaved" as expected/desired (with the minor
irritation of having to go back to delete the space). (And now this bug
explains the problem.)
As noted in comment 1, a single space is enough to have footnote style
"override" the style of the pasted text. From a user perspective it seems
inconsistent that it does work with a space, but does not work without a space.
Given this is a special and limited context (where text is being copied into a
footnote), it seems permissible to allow "footnote" style to "override".
(have changed the summary to reflect the fact that this happens with any style
copied to footnote (e.g, Heading 1)
