@bugzilla@couldbe.nulluser.com: How do you do "edit style dashed, color blue"? Please describe step-for-step.
From Libre Impress: Select "Insert Line" Draw a horizontal Line Select "Insert Line" Draw a vertical Line Select one of the lines Select Format/Style/Edit Style Select Line Select Style Dropdown Select ---- Dashed Select Color Dropdown Select a new color Select Width: + several times for a width of 0.10 Select OK You will see that BOTH lines changed.
Each object has "direct formatting", which affects only this object, and it has a "style" assigned. Direct formatting of a property has precedence over the settings in a style for that property. A style is usually assigned to many objects. That allows to simultaneously change a property in many objects. When you use Select Format/Style/Edit Style then you change the style. And then it is the correct behavior, that all objects, which have this style assigned, will change. If you want a property setting only for one special object, you have to use direct formatting.
