Before adding this to Bugzilla, I would like to verify that it is a bug and not an unimplemented feature. I am using AbiWord 0.7.12 on Windows NT, SP6. To recreate the behavior I am seeing, follow this procedure: Create a document using AbiWord's built-in styles (Normal, Heading 1, etc). Copy and paste several paragraphs that use different styles. It will appear that the newly created text has retained the style of the original, but it has not. Place the cursor in one of the new paragraphs. Instead of showing the style that you expect, the list box in the toolbar will display whatever style was active at the point and time of the insertion. The problem is immediately apparent when the file is inspected in a plain text editor. The style of the newly created paragraphs is whatever was active at the point and time of the insertion. The appearance is the same as the original, because AbiWord duplicates all of the character and paragraph properties of the original style in long form. This behavior, of course, is not what the typical user would expect and is very easy to miss. It will be even more insidious when style editing is implemented: the changes that the user expects to cascade will not. The other consequences are file-size bloat and (I would expect) performance degradation. So, bug or not? Thanks, Rob Campbell Robert J.
