Hi John,

Paragraphs can be joined by user action of delete at the end of a paragraph or backspace at the beginning of an un-indented paragraph. Paragraph formating style from the paragraph with editing focus will be applied to the joined paragraph. (Delete retains formating of first paragraph, backspace retains formating of second paragraph. Backspace on beginning of an indented paragraph first removes the indent as defined in "Bullets and Numberings part 1, 7.4")

Note the problem here. The Backspace key under this behavior had not one, not two, but *three* context based actions. One of which is very counter-intuitive, and afaik, still undocumented.

Under this behavior, you can not join two paragraphs with indents and 'save the formating of the paragraph', since backspace destroys the indent, and the format of the paragraph with focus is always applied.

You may have wanted a system that lets you choose how to join paragraphs with a single button press, but this one has a major design bug when used with indented paragraphs.

at least I'm able to offer a two-button-work-around:
If your cursor is at the beginning of the paragraph which indents and style you want to preserve, don't press <backspace>,
press <shift>+<cursor-left> instead, followed by <delete>
Regards
