--- Comment #3 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
I see something different.
Using the following steps:
1. write "normal"
2. Ctrl + Shift + P
3. write "super"

On the undo stack there is (most recent at the top):
- Typing "super"
- Apply attributes
- Typing "normal"

I see two different behaviours depending on the next action:
(a) Ctrl + Z removes the superscript string, and continuing writing uses
non-superscript characters *even though "Apply attributes" is still on top of
the stack*
(b) Backspace until all superscript characters are gone, then continuing
writing still uses superscript character

This not exclusive to superscripts, it is consistent with other formatting
options (I tested bold, italic, font colour), but I feel like the two actions
(Ctrl + Z vs backspace) are equivalent and should therefore have the same
impact.
(a) seems particularly odd to me, in that "Apply attributes" is still in the
history but new characters don't use the formatting. (I am aware this is the
behaviour Coburn would prefer though.)

UX/UI team, what do you think?

Coburn, do you see something different following my steps? Please also share
the info from Help > About LibreOffice.
I tested with this version:

Version: 7.5.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: ru-RU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Same results in 7.0.6.2
