turbolad, as per upstream rationale it is agreed this is not a bug: As per: http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Copying_Attributes_With_the_Format_Paintbrush when "Text is selected" it is noted that it "Copies the formatting of the last selected character and of the paragraph that contains the character." While the default action is not intuitive, the WORKAROUND does give one the opportunity to achieve the expected results.
