I see that comment 2 is confused/misguided. And nothing needs any change.

Completely wrong. The two different captions reflect *precisely* what is being
edited.

* There is an object named "paragraph style", and that is *not* a paragraph,
but a named set of properties that *may* be applied to *any* paragraph; so when
you edit that *paragraph style* object, it is plain wrong to name the dialog
simply "Paragraph": it would mean you edit something different than you in fact
are editing.

* There is an object named "Paragraph". It represents a specific piece of text
in the document. It has own properties, among them: (a) style name; (b)
everything else. Whenever you assign a style to a paragraph, you define that
paragraph's specific direct property (a); whenever you assign font to a
paragraph, you assign another direct property (one of (b))... So when you edit
properties of paragraph, you have the dialog named "Paragraph".
