--- Comment #3 from Elmar <roberg at iafrica.com> ---
I have checked the document again.

It seems that I had somehow added direct formatting into the first paragraph. 
Not sure how. 
Therefore was not aware that the first line had direct formatting in it.
When I cleared the direct formatting in the first line 
and then typed "Venues" into the second line, 
and then changed its style to Heading, it behaved correctly.

So I am happy to clear this as not a bug. 

What puzzles me is this: I can read xml as a novice, but how was I able to
change the style in the middle of a paragraph as the png i have attached seems
to indicate?

The first sentence is split in the word "issu|es", and then the heading
"V|enues" (with the | character representing the inserted xml).

Must say this: the first word processor I used (after IBM's dedicated word
processor) was Wordstar under CP/M.
In it you explicitly type in these things, similar to XML, but without all the
extra stuff. So you said where Italics started and where they ended, and so on.
It was then very easy to see where one had made a mistake.
It is a pity that this is not possible to do with a single click (like the
"Toggle Formatting Marks" in our modern word processing software (I know I can
view the XML when opening the doc as a Zip file, but there is so n=muc
additional clutter that one cannot easily spot the problems unless one is
competent in xml.
