In this case, where it is using the currently selected text to apply the
formatting to the rest of text, it should remove the direct formatting, just
like it does for the updation of paragraph styles.

Yes this issue needs some deep thought and research to find out what the best
default option should be and likely we should have option dialog options to
tweak its behavior to user preference, like
1) Clear all direct formatting on character styled text when updating style
from <charstyle><b>this is <i>some <u>text</i> and</u> some more<b></charstyle>
to <charstyle>this is some text and some more</charstyle>
2) Clear direct formatting that covers the entire text when updating style
from <charstyle><b>this is <i>some <u>text</i> and</u> some more<b></charstyle>
to <charstyle>this is <i>some <u>text</i> and</u> some more</charstyle>
3) Dont remove direct formatting when updating style (what we do now)
This issue is related to bug 85131 which talks about similar updation problems
with paragraph styles.
