Example file from Writer

When in the Accessibility sidebar there is a warning about a character and the user changes to the Style inspector sidebar, the attributes of the highlighted area are not shown, unless re-highlighted.

1. Open attached file
2. Open the Accessibility sidebar
-> there is a warning about direct formatting, click on it to highlight the problematic part
3. Change to the Style inspector sidebar
-> there is no direct formatting indicated.
4. Highlight again the problematic dash in the document
-> the Style inspector now shows the direct formatting applied to the character

This started in 7.1 with the first implementation of the accessibility check.

I confirm it with

Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Place cursor in before dash => Style inspector shows DF
Place cursor behind dash => Style inspector doesn't show DF
Select dash from left to right => Style inspector shows DF
Select dash from right to left => Style inspector doesn't show DF

In Accessibility check cursor is before dash and therefore we have the same result as in Style inspector. So better solution would be, if cursor would be after dash.

Additional information
I miss the information in LO help [1] that result of Style inspector for characters depends on location of cursor
