Paste in Front/Back should override Paste remembers layers option
The layer from which an object is copied is used for the pasted object even when using the Paste in Front/Back command. This is counterintuitive and the command should override the option.

I understand the frustration, and the example is pretty clear.
Paste Remembers Layers is also a really sneaky option, it changes the default behavior substantially, but Ai does not really telegraph it anywhere.
But the behavior is intended and works for many other cases than this one... you’d have to disable the option to force Ai to not honor original layers.
But I agree it should be more clearly told what is going to happen when one pastes. -

@Egor Chistyakov, the current behaviour is counterintuitive. I hope the following clears this up.
Let's say you have to layers – Front and Back – the first of which is in front of the other, and you have "Paste remembers layers" on. Now, if you copy an object from the layer Back, select an object on the layer Front and execute "Paste in front", the object is, in fact, pasted on the layer Back, which is not in front of the selected object.

I can't agree on that yet. Can you describe what it can be good for?
