            Bug ID: 159724
           Summary: No special character style should always be the
                    topmost offer even if only applied character styles is
                    selected
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 24.2.0.1 rc
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org

This problem arises in LibreOfficeWriter

Version: 24.2.2.0.0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 46169670ef4031888e143823b263577296d7867f
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE
Calc: threaded

But I also encountered it in older versions. (sorry, 24.2.2.0.0 was not offered
in the bug report drop-down list, I selected another one close to that). 

Below the F11-function to select character styles, one can select categories,
e.g. All Styles, All User defined ones or all Applied Styles shall be displayed
for the choice to be taken from.

Of course, Applied Character Styles is the most used one, since one should stay
with a few carefully chosen character styles only, almost all formatting should
be done by the paragraph styles (and direct formatting should be avoided at
all).

In general No Character Style happens "almost everywhere" in a properly
formatted document with a few exceptions only, since in the first place the
styles from the paragraph styles should be used "almost everywhere".

If one wants to revert an improperly applied character style, unfortunately "No
Character Style" is not offered, when "Applied styles" are selected.

This is very cumbersome since one has to temporarily change what shall be
offered - and "No Character Style should" always be offered in the selection,
no matter what else the selection is restricted to (even in "User defined
Styles" is the restriction: despite the fact that "No Character Style"
definitely is not a user defined style).
