Thomas - It's possible that you accidentally somehow turned bold on and off once when creating the custom styles. I might try looking for a Bold command in the template by (1) using the AltSearch extension (https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/70066); or (2) using Save As to save the template in the Flat XML ODF Text Document (.fodt) format and examining the result with a text editor.

Text turns bold AFTER I have typed a line or two, but did not select any text. When I hit return to move the next line, the bold disappears (if I am lucky). Again without selecting anything. I somehow doubt, this behavior can be due to me hitting ctrl+b all the time. I just tried to use other templates to open a new document and entered random characters. This does NOT seem to happen with templates I created a long time ago.
