Description: i'm working in a strictly structured way, having solely styles for my text. very annoyingly, every time i overwrite a word(s), the parastyle is copied into "direct char formatting" making it impossible to re-style a paragraph (as described in bug 89829) without first actively clearing the direct formatting. additionally, "character locale" cannot be cleared. (the only solution to this is: cut text out and paste without formatting). Steps to Reproduce: 1. have a para with text, para style only 2. hilite a word, type oper it Actual Results: in style inspector, you will see character direct formatting having values. when that paragraph is re-styled to some other values, these word(s) stick out, because they retain the direct formatting. "char locale" cannot be cleared anymore. Expected Results: i do not understand, why in a cleanly styled para, some actions should ever set direct formatting. clear direct formatting should truly clear all values.

Goodguy00, thank you for reporting the bug. I'm not sure, if I grasp the problem. I've treid the following steps: 1. Open a new document 2. Type a sentence, for example "This is a test" 3. Change paragraph style, for example select "Heading 1" 4. Open Style inspector; Character direct formatting has only list ID as entry 5. Select "is" and write "was" Actual result: Character direct formatting has a lot of entries Expected result No further entries (works in this way with default paragraph style) Tested with Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 7cd5b35caa8d4fa9d0ba2b2c6ce4b88726ed2be6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL Goodguy00, does this describe the bug you've reported? => NEEDINFO

To get the issue as described in comment 1, typing needs to overwrite something that has been marked. It works well in case of delete/insert per character. And it also does not happen for Text Body (not tested other PS). Mike, any idea?
