Hi :)
It sounds like it's going completely crazy.  Have you tried renaming your 
user-profile to see if it's some weird settings?
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile

Is it a new fresh install of LibreOffice?  Which Operating System or platform; 
ie Windows, Ubuntu, soem other Gnu&Linux, Mac or Bsd?  Which version of LO, 
3.5.0 perhaps?  Has your machine got any strange usb-dongles plugged in by some 
joker work-mate?  Retrevo or somewhere was advertising a usb-dongle that could 
be set to do crazy stuff at timed or 'random' intervals.  It beats chattering 
teeth or a whoppee cushion i guess.  

We have not heard of other people having this problem but that doesn't mean 
it's not happening to other people so it would be great if we could work out 
how to fix it quickly.

Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] LO Writer -  Strange behavior of paragraph styles
To: users@global.libreoffice.org

Hi, everyone.

Running LO 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build:302) on Ubuntu 11.04 (Linux 
2.6.38-generic-pae) w/ Gnome 2.32.1.

Find myself having to cope with some very strange behavior of paragraph styles, 
not previously encountered in any version of OOo.

I defined my 'Default' style as follows: font Ubuntu 12 regular, no indents, 
single spacing, 0.00" before and after, justified.

As I begin a new document and type a one-line paragraph, then press Return to 
start a new paragraph, all is OK.
If I press Return once more (adding an empty line), the previous paragraph gets 
indented without any prompting!
When I go back to the previous paragraph with "ArrowUp", the style changes - 
without any prompting! - to Text Body...

If I go back to the beginning of any Default or Text Body paragraph and press 
Return twice, the paragraph is transformed into text that is both bold and 
increased in size...

All of this, though, merely scratches the surface of my paragraph-style 
misadventures in LO.

It's enough to drive me insane, to the point where I'm seriously considering 
returning to one of the recent versions of OpenOffice.

FWIW i DID carefully read the manual on styles and templates. Like I said: no 
problems in OOo, a disaster in LO.
As an aside: can anyone tell me what difference there is between 'Default' and 
'Text body'?

Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to correct / troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance.
john
