Bug Description
To reproduce this bug, follow these steps:
1) Create two paragraphs of text, one with font size 14 and the other with size 18.
2) Copy some text from the first paragraph to the end of the second paragraph using Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V.
3) Now press immediately Ctrl-Z for undo.
4) While the cursor is still at the end of the second paragraph, type some new text.
As a user, I would expect the new text to have font size 18, since that’s the size of the text just before the cursor. However, as it appears, the new text gets font size 14 because of the text that was copied from the first paragraph. Thus it seems that Ctrl-Z did not undo the whole copy operation but instead just removed the copied text and left its formatting.
