Writer canvas showing a DF border applied to Characters of selected text
misapplied to containing Paragraph
Confirm on Windows 10 Home 64-bit en-US with
Version: 6.3.1.2 (x64)
Build ID: b79626edf0065ac373bd1df5c28bd630b4424273

Direct Formatting--applying a colored border via the Character dialog--ends up
applied to the entire current Paragraph holding the text selection.
It does not affect the Paragraph style, nor the Character style.
But, to clear the errant border assignment to the paragraph, focus into the
paragraph (or select the entire paragraph) to clear the DF.
That, while font attributes applied as DF to the selected words will clear but
leave the paragraph border DF in place.
So, looks like the DF border is being misapplied.
Working with a Character style that assigns a Border behaves correctly.
In the attached clip, the Orange dash-dot brder was applied to the selected
text that has just been cleared back to Text Body--border around paragraph
remains. The two green dash-dot selections with highlighting were applied as a
Character style.</pre>
