I can't confirm it with

Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 151c56ed547490a99d912524c0e56b5d6d4a1939
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

and also not with

Version: 7.3.0.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 840fe2f57ae5ad80d62bfa6e25550cb10ddabd1d
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win

Looking at your video (audio was too silent for me) the first problem seems to be problem of paragrap style. As far as I can see steps are as followes:
1. Open a new document
2. write abcd and press enter
3. Change paragraph Style of second paragraph to "Subtitle"

Result: PS dropdown menu showas also "Subtitle" for first paragraph, but formatting hasn't changed.
Since formatting marks ar disabled, I can't see if second paragraph works as expected.

Alex, are steps correct?
