Right and the issue of  Tools --> Autocorrect --> Apply only applying to
"Default" paragraph style is still involved. Issue of OP would not occur if
their PS is something other than Default.  It effectively clears the DF applied
to default paragraphs, and casts them to Text Body--to me that is happening
within the edit shell.  

Also, either the 'Default' or the 'Text Body' PS may be modified (i.e. not by
DF) from template defaults to suite authoring needs--so this is a styles based
editing feature--poorly documented and in need of rework.  But it is
consistently implemented.

The Autocorrect 'M' modify applicable to 'Default' PS is involved. For example
use the markdown we support: bold, italic, strikeout and underline.  Set up a
FODT with dummy text in a paragraph of Default, vs dummy text in a paragraph of
Quotation. Edit the FODT externally (notepad++, or vi) to bracket a few text
spans with the flags.  Then open in Writer and Tools -> Autocorrect -> Apply. 
Only the Default PS will be affected.
