Text paste loses style

Migrated from https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171727

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • create two differently styled text objects (bold & italic)
  • copy text from one to the other

What happened?

  • pasted text from one to the other is neither bold nor italic

What should have happened?

  • either the original style should "survive" the paste – or – the style of the destination object should get assigned (or both, controlled by special shortcut)

Inkscape Version and Operating System:

  • Inkscape Version: 1.0alpha (1:0.92.0+devel+201904112206+331007d)
  • Operating System: Ubuntu
  • Operating System version: 18.10
