--- Comment #17 from Kevin <timbacontent at gmail.com> ---
If you experiment with the file created entirely within 5.3.3.2 you can get all
sorts of interesting variations on the bug. For example:

1. Select only D15 and D16
2. change font size to 12 pt
result: It does indeed change all characters to 12 pt, but it removes all other
attributes like bold
3. repeat with only D13 selected
result: It behaves correctly, retaining all attributes other than size

CORE BUG: A character has a variety of attributes - font face, size, bold,
italic, underline, superscript, color. The user expectation is to be able to
deal with these attributes INDIVIDUALLY - e.g., to change the size WITHOUT
changing the other attributes. This is what the rest of the world thinks of
when they think of "styles". In any other suite of programs you can create a
style called "12 pt" that will change everything selected to 12 pt and do
NOTHING ELSE - whether the selection is a range of characters within a cell, or
a range of cells within the spreadsheet. In lieu of having working styles,
which Calc most certainly does not in spite of the fanfare surround the release
of this "feature", it's even more important that they user should be able
select multiple cells and use formatting toolbar to workaround the lack of
style functionality that has been present in Microsoft for decades.
