Let's say I have a word or phrase in some layout that I want to copy and
start a new paragraph with but in another layout. In 2.3.1 (and earlier,
I believe), LyX will change the layout of the new paragraph to the one I
copied from. However, I don't think this is desired in almost all cases.
As an example, consider the following case:
---
Start with an enumeration:
1. I am number one
I want to copy "number one" to an itemized item, so I do:
- [paste]
What actually happens is that it becomes
1. number one
rather than the expected
- number one
---
I understand that LyX needs some way to copy layouts from one place to
another. However, I suggest that the layout is changed only if the whole
paragraph is copied, i.e. only if I would copy "I am number one".
Note also that my suggestion is how Libre Writer works. And there is yet
a further difference: it changes the layout only if the current layout
is standard. I am not as sure about the latter feature but it might be
worth changing this as well.
