6707	Paste over selected texts changes styling of pasted text	Tomas		"It seems as the when selecting text in the editor and pasting over that, the paste keeps the previous styling in some strange way.

To reproduce:

Select the text below and paste into a empty editor:

Start text:[[BR]]
'''text that is styled bold'''
text that is unstyled[[BR]]
End text

After the text has been pasted. Do ctrl+a to select all and then ctrl+v to paste the same text again.

All text is now bold. Repeating this introduces a new nested bold tag each time.

1. In my opinion application should clear styling when select all (ctrl+a) is issued.[[BR]]
2. And not insert a strong tag when there already is one.[[BR]]
3. In word you get the styling of what you paste not the styling of what you paste plus the styling of where you paste.[[BR]]


I understand that this is a area where different people would argue that different behavior is right. My opinion is that MS word behavior makes sense to me."	New Feature	closed	Normal		Core : Pasting	3.4.3	duplicate	Discussion
