I've found another problem but I think that it is the same nature, in the sense
that it is due to the same cause.

Try the following procedure:
1) create a new file
2) insert some generic text in it
3) then apply on it a formatting as size 8pt
4) then try to apply on it the default style: it works every where but the text
you have applied the 8pt size
5) also try to modify the style it self (right click on the style name on the
sidebar and then click the “Modify” item on the right click menu). Into the
dialog that appears modify the text size and set it to let say 35pt (or any
other size you want) then confirm and close the dialog. You will notice that
all the text has updated to match the new size but the text formatted before.
This persist even if I change the style of the paragraph style or the Char
style from the corresponding section in the sidebar.

Even this behavior in a word processing software is wired and awkward.

Nevertheless IMHO I think the nature of this problem is the same of the
original post of this thread. In the sense that LO Write stacks styles in an
incoherent way creating this kind of result. And this cannot be the desired
behavior because the logic wants that if I select a piece of text and I apply a
style on it I want to overwrite the previous formatting for the same type of
style. So if I apply a paragraph.

Of course this strange behavior can easily make the text formatting incoherent
from a paragraph to another and even inside the same paragraph even if you
don't want to.

I have added a new attachment.
