Not quite. Suppose one types a Western-language-group, say 'a', then an RTL-CTL
character, say 'ש'. Even though both have the same style, the _aspect_ of the
style which applies visibly will now be the RTL-CTL group's aspect, i.e. the
RTL-CTL typeface, font size, font weight etc - which are not the same as for
the Western character.

When you look at the LibreOffice (module) window and its toolbar, you
(typically) see controls for: typeface, font size, Bold Y/N, Italic Y/N and a
few others. These show values for one of the three language groups of some
style. If no text is selected, the style is that of the character before the
cursor (or the paragraph style, or drawing object style etc.) . But that still
does not determine which of the language groups has its properties displayed.
This bug suggesting changing the logic regarding which language group is
reflected in the controls I mentioned.

Was that a clear explanation? If not, I can make a video.
