> Sigh. A regression is something that works *worse* than before. 
In my perception it's 'worse', in the sense of Character DF getting removed by
applying Paragraph Style. But obviously it depends on what counts as a
regression. Developer point of view surely different from user point of view..

True

It's working unexpected; from user perspective. With code knowledge you're
surely capable of explaining why it happens.

The "regression" part is based on the observation prior post. It did function
(why/how/what) required in depth knowledge. And well 'regression' tag can be
removed if that's the annoyance...

FWIW: bug 146660 comment 10 steps 1-3 have the same problem source. So DOCX is
only different way for exposing the problem. The behaviour is a contrary to
what a user expects (how it's formatted accordantly to the Style Inspector)

A bug report obviously focus on cases where it doesn't work out as expected. No
clue about the extend - how common - the problem actually is.
