--- Comment #16 from donotspam at fastmail.fm ---
Either I did not test as thoroughly as I should have when I confirmed WFM and
did not notice that spacing is not applied correctly, or maybe later versions
introduced a regression in comparison to the version I was testing with at the
time (I'm afraid I don't know which version that was.)

> I believe the command label has mislead you to think that you can use this command to take manual formatting on one style (e.g. "default style") to use that to update another style (e.g., "Heading 1") 

The fact that "Update to match selection" exists in relation to *all* styles
when text is selected, and the fact that it actually works to some extent, 
suggests that that is precisely its purpose.  For that reason, I don't think an
enhancement request is appropriate.

The interface gives the impression that "Update to match selection" is a
shortcut to "New style from selection" > "Update style" in the style manager.  

This also exists in relation to all styles when text is selected, but does
nothing (as opposed to being partially effective) when updating a style not
currently applied.  If that is not the purpose, why is the option available
(like "Update to match selection") for all styles when text is selected?  

If that is not the purpose, then the style manager does not contain the
function which does appear to have that purpose in the style dropdown, which
would be a significant omission.
