Description Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2020-11-27 17:06:00 UTC 
Description:
Styles used to be a dialog that only exists once but now it's a sidebar thing and can exist multiple times...

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open 2 documents, in 2 windows
2. display sidebar's Styles in both
3. Show Previews must be enabled
4. in one Styles, right click on a Character style, Modify... change e.g. font color
5. mouse-over the other window Styles where the modified style is
6. preview shows the same change that was applied in the other document

... it's even possible to Modify style in one window and have it actually apply 
in the other window's document

Can not confirm on a Windows build of master / 7.2.0

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 9c355a82881d8e13d6bc732e13b28d62962bf245
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

changes to the default paragraph style, or to a character style are isolated between the two document instances.

And I do see linkage when using the Main menu -> Windows -> New Window, but I think that is intentional as it is opening additional view into just one document instance.
