Meaning it's empty, just as it should be?
Also, I noticed that I forgot to post my LO-data:

1. It's not always where the cursor is. For example, if I make a small document
with an an H1 and a textbody-text, it doesn't matter where the cursor is. If I
select the text from Textbody to H1, the dropdown-menu says "Heading 1". If I
start from H1 and end the selection-movement in the Textbody-text, (which would
place the cursor in Textbody,) it still says "Heading 1".
Sometimes it doesn't seem to follow that rule though. It's really weird.
(Actually, it might always display the style that is highest up on the page)

2.1. Unfortunately, it doesn't make sense to me. Both the font-dropdown-menu
and the font-size-dropdown-menus act according to the norm: they go blank when
you highlight multiple different options. The style-dropdown-menu is the only
thing that doesn't have this feature.
2.2. This omits information. It's useful to know, whether multiple styles were
selected. If the user wants to know what style a certain paragraph has, he
clicks on it.
2.3. This is just... an unusual way to handle different text-styles/types.
In some very common applications (such as Thunderbird, WordPad and even MS
Word), dropdown-menus indicate that multiple different options were selected.
Usually it's by making the dropdown-menu go blank. Thunderbid shows a "(mixed)"
message instead.
Personally I prefer the menu to go blank. This makes it easier to spot without
needing to read text.

Do my arguments make sense?
