Public bug reported:
I have found that in some cases using Clone Formatting copies only a
part of the attributes of the text. In the example case, open the
attached document, press the Clone tool while the cursor is on the first
paragraph and select the second paragraph. Here cloning works as
expected: the second paragraph gets the same font size, typeface,
underlining and boldface as the first paragraph.
Now without saving, close the document, open it again, take the cursor
to the second paragraph, press Clone again and select the first
paragraph. Only font size is transferred but typeface, underlining and
boldface stay as they were. As a user, I would expect cloning to work
similarly for both cases, i.e. transferring all the attributes from the
2nd to the 1st paragraph, as what happened in the transfer from 1st to
2nd.
