In the template manager there is an Default Template File which is located in core/extras/source/templates/styles/Default/ why don't use writer this default template file?
Created attachment 161676 [details] left is the default template file, right when you open writer with an empty file It's nearly the same but I cleaned up the layer and this is not the same when I open writer so I found out that writer didn't use the default template file.
No a question for UX.
Writer's defaults are hard-coded. If you load any template it will override those. So it's working as designed and the only question is whether we should rename the template because Default might confuse users.

I'm not a fan of hard-coded as in addition the default writer template is exact what was done hard-coded. So we can remove hard-coded presets with the template or close the bug.
If it's not a real default in the program, this so-called template should be renamed.
We discussed the topic in the design meeting and decided to resolve as WF. While the issues was accepted and using the template as default there are also many blockers. First of all we have many variables that not all are defined in a template (all attributes of all paragraph/character/page/frame/table... styles). It's also not recommended to trust in a template as this might be deleted or not available for other reasons (for example not compiled/installed via switch). And last but least we run unit tests to ensure pixel-perfect documents after each included patch that also need to run with constant data. Renaming to Blank, Plain or whatever would be possible be also not solve the issue. Users cannot rename, delete, modify this templates because it's not placed in the user space. And removing everything is also not desirable. So what we have to do is to add more and better templates (and maybe at the user space). If this has been done we could delete "Default".
