But what is confirmed?

The object's anchor (not its position!) is what defines what outer stuff should
be selected to also select the object. When your object is anchored to
character, you select the place of anchor, and that selects the object for the
copy purposes. For paragraph-anchored objects, that's the same: you select
start of the paragraph, and the object gets selected.

For page-anchored objects, there's no text flow that holds the object; hence
it's normal and expected that no matter what text you select (even all the text
using Ctrl+A), the object will not be copied as part of the selection. By the
way, Ctrl+A doesn't copy other things in the document - which is just normal:
say, unused user-defined styles don't go to the target document.

I suppose to close it NOTABUG. To page anchoring is very special, and actually
a power user feature.
