--- Comment #4 from Andrew Grillet <[email protected]> ---
This bug is a very unfortunate case of "working as designed".

LO Writer "clear formatting" does not clear "character formatting" but, for a
not technical person (eg office typist) this is a distinction too complex to
grasp, particularly given that it may take 30 minutes of Googling to find the
explanation for why "clear formatting" does not appear to clear formatting. 

It would appear that Phoenix Office (and Android App) uses character formatting
where you would expect a style to be applied, thus making discovery of the
problem a task requiring significant forensic software skills. (I have
encountered the problem before in documents imported from other tools).

LO Writer is supposed to be an office tool, and not a wierd programmer's test
of skills. It is simply not acceptable that a relatively unskilled person
should be faced with "Clear formatting" not clearing formatting under
indecipherably obscure circumstances, and for no useful purpose. This is sort
of design decision is a major obstacle to widespread acceptance.
