--- Comment #10 from Schlomo Schapiro <[email protected]> ---
I'd like to emphasize the importance of this feature:

At the moment you cannot "undo" a mistake in the styles. That makes it very
simple to "fuck up" an important style in the document and then the only
solution is to create a new style, replace the broken style, and so on. This
makes long-term management of complex documents unnecessarily hard and prevents
professional use for some.

"fuck up" means that for example I have an inherited style that should only
change the font but not the size. If I once accidentally set also the size, it
will always carry its own size setting and not inherit the size from the parent
any more.

About the suggestion with the X in the style list: I think that this is
probably the easiest to implement as it would require only changing a single UI
element (the overview list) vs. updating all the other style UI elements to
support 3 states (on, off, inherit) or to add "(inherit)" as a list item in the
drop down lists.

Therefore I'd like to suggest to first implement the X removal in the overview
and then, maybe, also add inheritance as a choice in the individual style
settings.
