--- Comment #6 from Gordo <[email protected]> ---
Selecting multiple paragraphs that have different tab stop positions and/or
different number of tab stops will not show the tab stops in Paragraph → Tabs
so it is not possible to delete them.  If you enter a new value then it will
replace what was there.
1. New Text Document.
2. Type “test” and Enter.
3. Type “test”.
4. Right click on first paragraph, Paragraph → Tabs and enter 1cm, New and OK.
5. Place cursor before first paragraph and Tab.
6. Select both paragraphs, Paragraph → Tabs.
Result:
No values in Position.
7. Still in the Tabs dialogue, Delete all and OK.
Result:
First paragraph still has 1cm tab.
8. Select both paragraphs, Paragraph → Tabs, enter 2cm, New and OK.
Result:
First paragraph has changed from 1cm to 2cm and 1cm tab has been deleted. 
Second paragraph has the option to tab to 2cm.

Alternate:
4. Right click on first paragraph, Paragraph → Tabs and enter 1cm, New, enter
2cm, New, and OK.
5. Place cursor before first paragraph and Tab once.
8. Select both paragraphs, Paragraph → Tabs, enter 2cm, New and OK.
Result:
In Paragraph → Tabs, each paragraph has a 2cm tab stop.  The first paragraph
has lost its 1cm tab stop.

On the Alternate step 5 if you tab twice and change step 8 to 1cm then the
result is both paragraphs have a 1cm tab stop.  Because the first paragraph has
lost its 2cm tab stop, it reverts to using an automatic tab stop.

There is probably no way to show differing tab stops without having a
convoluted dialogue (a tree list).  The documentation should be updated to say
something about changing tab stops for multiple paragraphs will result in
losing multiple tab stops set per paragraph and all paragraphs will be set to
the new value.  Also a dialogue warning message might be considered.  Or, you
know, use styles.
