Yes, this is the remark I made in the other thread about the language settings. When copying part of a section heading, plain text should remove the section heading layout, but it doesn't >One difference seems to be that Ctrl-V joins (single) lines when > pasting from a source outside LyX, however this is just like >"clipboard-paste paragraph", i.e. > Edit->Paste Special->Plain Text, Join Lines Yes, this is unexplainable. >But I don't know what the difference between "text" and >"material" is in this case.
