            Bug ID: 139727
           Summary: Writer assigns "Default Paragraph Style" style to the
                    text, instead of "Text body" style
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: raindrops.fromsky at gmail.com

Description:
A few weeks ago, I had raised a bug that the Navigator stopped showing all
headings (H1, H2...). During the discussion, I came to know that Writer is
supposed to assign "Text body" style to the "normal" text in the document.

--------
According to the developers-
1. The "Default Paragraph Style" is designed as an abstract class. It is common
across all documents.
2. It defines the common characteristics of the text that gets inherited to all
the other styles.
3. All the other styles are derived from this style. 
4. The "Default paragraph style" is NOT supposed to be assigned to any text.
5. The "Text body" style is a copy of the "default paragraph style", but which
the user can edit per document basis.
6. Writer is supposed to automatically assign the "text body" style to "normal"
text.
------------

But Writer does not seem to follow this logic: It directly assigns the "Default
paragraph style" to the "normal" text in the document. I have to manually
change the style to "Text body".[BUG]

This is true of all LibreOffice version, till 7.2.0 alpha.

Desired: Writer should automatically assign the "Text body" style to the
"normal" text.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Writer. Launch a new document.
2. Type some text. Check its style (in the main toolbar).

Actual Results:
The "style" drop-down menu shows "Default paragraph style" [BUG]

Expected Results:
The "style" drop-down menu should be showing the "Text body" style.

BTW the label "Default paragraph style" itself is odd!
Drop the word "style" from the label.
None of the other styles have the word "style" in their names!

For example, the "Title" style is not named "Title style".
It is a bad practice!
