Wait, that's not what happens. The source style (i.e., the style of the copied
text) is applied only if the target paragraph *is* empty; if the target
paragraph is *not* empty, then the source text is changed to the target
paragraph's style. I agree that the latter behavior is correct; my argument has
been that pasting source text into an empty paragraph in a different style
should *also* be changed to the target style. (In particular with reference to
footnotes, but also applicable to everything else.) It is crucial, however,
that manually applied character attributes (bold, italics, etc.) be preserved
when pasting changes the style of the source text.
