--- Comment #6 from Joshua Coppersmith <joshua_coppersmith at hotmail.com> ---
Confirmed in Version: 6.4.3.2
Build ID: 747b5d0ebf89f41c860ec2a39efd7cb15b54f2d8
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 

Instead of trying to sort out which sheet is active when Style Modify... is
attempted and which sheet uses which styles could we just add a "Suspend
protection on all sheets"? If checked, no protection anywhere, if not, then
individual sheets are protected per each sheet's regular protection setting.
How hard to then put an open padlock symbol on all tabs that WOULD be protected
once suspend mode is cancelled? Seems like this would be useful for lots of
power-user scenarios when IT is working on a workbook for end users--turn a bug
into a feature.

Of course, the method would query for each password for each sheet having a
protection password but after trying no password AND the previous sheet's (if
one) password on each sheet, since usually I suspect people use the same
password on all protected sheets.
