Alright, so we've confirmed that character styles do not inherit from the
surrounding paragraph style. (Perhaps the title of this bug should be changed
back.)

I was able to update such a character style in the way you described, but ONLY
when changing the font size through the Basic Fonts menu. This explains the
difference in effect due to order of operations that I described.

But this method of updating, even if intentional, is terribly confusing.
Shouldn't percentage font sizes update automatically here just the same as
elsewhere??

Also, changing the default paragraph font still has no effect, either on
percentage font sizes or on the default size displayed before modifications.

So back to my original question: is the "parent style" of all character styles
the default paragraph style, or is it something else? I tried modifying the
default paragraph style again and pressing the "Standard" button, which
returned it to the setting in the Basic Fonts menu. This strongly suggests that
both the paragraph and character styles are based on some third source which is
only modifiable from the Basic Fonts menu.
