The menu path Format -> Styles -> New style from selection does not work, there is no reaction when the command is clicked. The same function triggered in the styles section of the sidebar does work, though. Steps to reproduce: - draw a rectangle - change its colour - while the rectangle is still selected choose Format -> Styles -> New style from selection - result: no reaction - choose the respective symbol in the sidebar: a dialog to enter the name appears It seems that this menu entry was introduced with 6.1 (Itested in 6.1.3.2), but I could niot find it in 6.0.7.3.

@Jim, I thought you might be interested in this issue...
I think this is NAB -- coming from a misunderstanding about "New style from selection" "New style from selection" is an action to create a new Paragraph (Character, Page) style from an existing style. If a Shape (e.g. rectangle) is selected - then the menu item (Styles>Select new style from selection) will be greyed out. (also in 6.3.4.2 if a Shape is selected, then the "styles action" icon in the Styles sidebar is greyed out). If you place the cursor in a paragraph style, and use the same menu command, then it will be active again. (and you can see what it is used for) @Gerhard -- to change format of your shapes, select and right-click (In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #2) > @Jim, I thought you might be interested in this issue... @Jim, Will be interesting to see what "magic" you can make here...

(-: Obviously , you are talking about Writer, but the component of this bug report is Draw! And even in Writer it is not the key point that the new paragraph style is created from the existing one (there's always a style, at least the default style): select an entire paragraph and set another colour, then use the command, in Writer it works with the menu as well as with the sidebar. The new style will use the colour set beforehand, the new style is created using the atttributes set manually, when they differ from the old style. That's the meaning of this command! The reason for the command being grayed out in Writer when selecting a drawing object is, that there are no drawing styles in Writer! And, as I said, the sidebar command is working in Draw, so there's no misunderstanding the command, the function seems simply not be called from the menu entry.
(In reply to Gerhard Weydt from comment #4) > Obviously , you are talking about Writer, but the component of this bug > report is Draw! Apologies for my oversight. Can confirm the problem you describe and add that the same problem also appears for "Update Selected Style" (i.e., works from Style window icon, but not from menu command) Additional problem: when using the menu commands, the shape remains "selected" (i.e., cannot select another shape -- need to click on the Drawing toolbar and then on the canvas, or use right-click and any command to be able to select other shapes).
