This is absolutely wrong. The truth is exactly the opposite: only the things
you define in a character style are used to override the settings coming from
paragraph formatting level. Of course, *if* you defined the font explicitly (as
you did in "fett für Gegenbeispiel") in the style, then it will override
whatever you set on the paragraph level. Your style content is shown on the
style's Organizer tab. If you go to the style's Font tab, click "Standard"
button at the bottom, then make a single click on Bold under "Style:", and
close with OK, you will have the style not defining the font name, so
inheriting whatever is there in paragraph.

Another wrong statement. A new paragraph inherits all properties of the
previous text. Doing otherwise would be most unexpected for all users. A rule
that tells that "after this paragraph style, the next paragraph must get that
style" doesn't modify anything except the paragraph style - namely, direct
formatting is naturally not affected.

Anyway, both things are not related to the stated bug topic - which is "create
more obvious way to remove applied character styles".
