Reopening, setting minor and pointing to UX-advise for discussion. I would suggest that there is a difference between the Format -> Clear Direct Formatting (Ctl+M) menu and the Styles and Formatting menu bar - Apply Style drop down action "Clear Formatting" And the OP does raise a valid issue, that clearing style results in assignment of "Text Body" style rather than "Default Style" I believe the Format menu action now correctly only applies changes to elements that diverge from a defined style. On Windows 7 sp1, 64-bit with Version: 4.3.0.0.beta2 Build ID: a06aa316117a6ff0f05c697c82831c227812d810 To demonstrate: 1. Create, or open, a Writer document and use paragraph styles other than default. 2. Select some block of text within a paragraph and make some formatting change against the style. 3. Select half of that block, and select the Format -> Clear Direct Formatting. That half of the selected text reverts to the assigned style for the paragraph. The unselected remains as changed against the style. 4. Now select the remainder of the paragraph. And use the Apply Style drop down to "Clear formatting" from the selection. The result is that the selection loses both its direct formatting -- as well as its assigned style. Becoming "Text Body" This distinction between styles vs. direct formatting is subtle, but is being handled correctly, especially as we try to encourage folks to more completely adopt use of styles for document formatting. But, IMHO the available Apply Style tool bar action to remove a style from a paragraph should not then assign a specific style to the paragraph ("Text Body" as here), but rather should honor the generic "Default Style" that a new paragraph would be created with. OP issue is valid. But also, regards the <F11> dialog window, and its implementation in the SideBar (bug 71233), there should be an Apply Style -> Clear formatting action. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
