Clearly there's more we can do to improve the UX in this area, so I'm marking
this bug NEW.

I'm afraid I don't follow what is being proposed by this option. Can one of you
elaborate, please?

We could stop the style:writing-mode-automatic DF from expanding to other
paragraphs. Doing this would seem to solve the bug as reported, and I didn't
intend for this DF to contaminate a whole document while editing anyway. Users
who want automatic directions turned off for a whole document would still be
able to do it by editing the default paragraph style.
