No, clear direct formatting not only remove character formatting but also
paragraph formatting like text alignment

> Why should one add a page break after/before text body?

Because it's a good feature to have to separate long and outstanding paragraphs
that spans almost over the entire page

That is more than just non-sense! LibreOffice is a stand alone office suite
with it's own features, behaviour and even remarkable visual efforts of
branding! And the users have to bare with this!
No user would be helped by keeping a page-brake that is applied to a paragraph
when he clears all formatting for this paragraph as no user is been helped when
he wants to remove a page-break while he doesn't understand that it is a
paragraph formatting. Learning the application is the key!

This is even more non-sense! First the OpenDocument Format allows advanced
formatting, than LibreOffice makes exceptions for users of other applications,
than we scatter the UI and force the users to mark 10 checkboxes for using a
function that is mean to be basic? CLEAR ALL FORMATTING should clear ALL
formatting, simple as this!

I agree with the opener, page-break applied to paragraphs should be removed by
clearing the direct formatting
