It is. Load the attached document, select "first" and make it italic
through the Text Style dialog. Now, in the intent of adding the italic
property to it, select "third" and press the "Apply last" toolbar button.
See that it is now italic but all other formatting is lost.

Thus, this workflow is now lost. Other than choosing italic, you have to
manually set to "No Change" everything else. That's a PITA.
