I finally got too annoyed by the current behaviour when inserting a collapsable over a selection.
As it is now, when you select some paragraphs from an itemize list and insert a branch, the first paragraph is reset to Standard, and the branch itself is in an itemize list. The new approach is to keep the layout of the inner first paragraph and reset the outer paragraph to Standard, if the selection spans multiple paragraphs. If not (i.e. for inline selections), the inset content is still reset to Standard. This strikes me the correct behaviour. We already have this new behaviour in trunk, so this is basically a backport. OK? Jürgen
