Hi phv, and thank you for your promptly reply. :-)

Yes, I do know that the TOC has its own style but, as a user, I do not see the
"logic" behind this particular case (no pun intended) :-)

As you say, if one type the entry "by hand", the TOC keeps/respect the exact
case of the entry (be it lower, upper, camel case, small caps). But (and this
is a big BUT) if the user wants to automate this process, using the heading
style, the TOC ceases to respect the desired case. 

A thing/change that should be done "just in one place, and applied everywhere"
(the very purpose of a style existence), ends in a change in the heading style,
and/or the TOC style.

I am aware that this is a special corner case, and I wasn't advocating to keep
"the whole paragraph style for the entry", only de font effect to ease this use
case, so I am going to close this bug.

Thank you (all) very much for the great work in Libreoffice!
