--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
This is not a bug, but very awkward implementation.

When you create a new character style from a selection without applied
character styles and direct formatting, the new style contains no settings at
all - you may see it in "Contains" on Organizer tab; but it will show you all
fields populated with some data (as if these are set) - taken from some
defaults maybe. That is confusing indeed; but the main problem here - just as
with any style - is that you simply don't see which property is set *here in
this style* (except looking at Organizer tab), and which is
inherited/defaulted.

Your steps should had not include step 7 to do what you needed. You modified
the control, which didn't do what you thought it did - you imagined that
removing the value of control means "no value set", while it means "zero", and
normalized to minimal allowed value. The new value differed from the original,
which meant "I set this setting in this style". So your modification of the
value was processed correctly - you just should not had done that modification.

If you need to change a style which already had the size set, then you should
include step 4.5: "press Standard button to reset all controls on the tab to
inherited values before setting Family and Style in steps 5 and 6".
