Hi,

While I agree in the general principle ("if it's undoable, don't ask 
confirmation"), there is something different here :
when you undo the deletion of a style, the style is not associated 
anymore to the text. So it's a partial undo (just tested in LO 3.5 & 
3.6) [1].
In this case, the user must be informed that the text will definitely 
loose his style (and can't be undone).

Or if devs can re-associate style to the text, then no need for 
confirmation. But it should be much much more complicated !

- create text
- add some attributes (font, color)
- create new style "test1" from selected text
- save document
- delete style "test1"
--> the text become standard
- undo
--> the style "test1" is back in the style list
--> the text is still standard
