The "reset to parent" button in the "Organizer" tab in the style editor window is meant to assure that values in the "Contains" entry specifying the style variations wrt the parent style are removed. Unfortunately the button performs no action.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document
2. Select a style and try to edit it
3. Go to the organizer tab
4. Press the reset to parent button

Actual Results:
Nothing happens

Expected Results:
The "contains" entry should be cleared.


Reproducible: Always

I confirm this but that's NotABug, it's not meant to be used from the Organizer tab. Dieter used it properly, from some other tab. 

If you disagree please set Unconfirmed. 
Maybe this could somehow be improved, but I don't know how.

Indeed, I realize that from the other tabs it works.

However, I was expecting it to work "tab-wise". Namely, if you use it in some tab, I was expecting it to reset-to-the-parent-style only those entries present in the tab, and if you use it in the organizer tab I was expecting it to reset-to-the-parent-style all the entries.

If the button is meant to be inactive in the organizer tab, probably it should be grayed out there.

Ok, let's consider that as Enhancement.
