Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new Writer document 2. Using "New Style from Selection", create a new page style named "Pink Page". 3. Modify "Pink Page": Area -> Color -> set a pink background. This will make the page style stand out. 4. Change the current page to the "Pink Page" page style. The page turns pink. 5. Add a table to the document. The page remains pink. 6. Click in a table cell and insert a new nested table. The page turns white, because the page reverted to the default page style. It should have remained pink.
After some additional testing, it looks like it only happens if the nested table is created in the upper left cell of the original table. The page style does not change if the nested table is created in any other cell.

Still present in Version: 7.6.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 29d686fea9f6705b262d369fede658f824154cc0 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-GB (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded Simplified steps: 1. Create a new Writer document 2. Choose any page style different than default 3. Insert a table. 4. Click in a table cell A1 and insert a new nested table. Actual result Page Style changes to default page style. Expected result Page style should remain.
This is very similar to bug 92714. The program fails to transfer the RES_PAGEDESC to the inserted, nested table.
