Of course DF should also be dropped after a new paragraph is started. I have seen comments 24 and 25: I doubt that many people really expect CS and DF to continue after beginning a new paragraph. It looks more natural to me to start from the default settings for a new paragraph. Unfortunately the documentation neither tells about the formatting behavior when a new paragraph or line is begun nor tells it anything about the precedence of formatting options. Changing this merely fixes an undocumented feature. I also proposed to close this gap in the documentation. Because humans are creatures of habit and people with little knowledge some times even more considering a program reaction, which they have experienced once, as the only reasonable one and don't think about alternatives, I had already suggested to let behavior depend on a basic setting in LibreOffice. In this context, one could still think about whether to set the default value for that as I suggested, i.e. forget CS and DF, or whether to give preference to the continuity of operation, i.e. keep them both (=present behavior). The latter can certainly be argued for, although I don't: Advanced users who use style sheets should not be hindered and for them it is probably more natural to end the previous DS and DF with a new PS, which Heiko also agreed with. That this question came up at all and did so many rounds shows, after all, how confusing LO's current behavior is at this point. How can you actually tell for sure and at a glance what the effective formatting has done: PS, CS or DF? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
