More intended as an inquiry.. of naïve asking what the idea behind the concept
is.. Not to get comment 0 through.

That I report it as a 'bug' doesn't necessary mean it's bug. Except I tend to
perceive it as bug 'initially; .

I don't not really get that it's possible to 'set a DF at paragraph level',
which is overridden by Character DF formatting.. for the full paragraph depend
how the formatting being changed..

So changing the font at the start is assumed to be DF paragraph style, but
maybe it intended only to have say a Different type of font for the first
letter? Or fist word.. 

And PS direct formatting obviously causes a lot of DF being present.. While
styles a propagated. So maybe you only want to change DF at character level,
and you get 'DF at paragraph level'

And having to types of direct formatting is really hard get a grip on. As kind
of invisible.. Yes, with style inspector it's visible.. but now I have having
trouble avoiding certain effects.

As hard as switching font from to something else, back to default doesn't
mean.. back in line with 'style', but DF formatting font set. Which also hard
to revert. [I my position is that shouldn't happen ideally in the first place]

But maybe I change position what the idea behind Paragraph DF is. As it's not
clear to me what purpose/advantage is next to DF at character level.. This
might be 'sane' approach or having an advantage.. I can place it currently. Why
this is needed/wanted. In relation to Character DF and in relation to using PS
Styles.
