Created attachment 161762 [details] Writer file showing problem with Paragraph Style Version: 6.4.4.2 (x64) Build ID: 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded 1. Open the attached file. Note that the poetry, in addition to having a set "Paragraph Style", has also been customised by setting the indent in the horizontal ruler (can also be done from "Format > Paragraph" etc.). (NOTE: According to the UK Style Bible—"New Hart's Rules" (OUP, 2005, p. 160)—poetry should be centred on the longest line on each page. This means that the indentation has be set manually for each page, and cannot be based purely on the global Paragraph Style indentation.) 2. Open the Poetry "Paragraph Style > Indents and Spacing" and set the "Line Spacing" to "Double" (say). Then press OK to quit dialogue. EXPECTED RESULT: The Line Spacing should immediately change in the Paragraphs. ACTUAL RESULT: Nothing happens. You have to press Ctrl + M (Clear Direct Formatting) for the changes to take effect. But this means that ALL the previously applied custom changes to indentation will be UNDONE as well, and have to be be reset page by page. PAINFUL. I can understand why you MIGHT want custom paragraph properties (set from "Format > Paragraph") to be retained in the face of any changes made to the global Paragraph Style, but this control should be specific. E.g. In the above example, the line indentation for poetry was customised (using "Format > Paragraph"). But this should NOT stop changes to Paragraph Style "Line Spacing" being applied because the latter is a non-related property. And so on.
I confirm it with Version: 7.0.0.0.beta1 (x64) Build ID: 94f789cbb33335b4a511c319542c7bdc31ff3b3c CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL Additional informations: 1. Open document 2. Double click of paragraph style "Poetry" => left alignment of text 3. Change line spacing of paragraph style to double => That works
