Description Jakob Ehlich 2025-10-19 08:44:17 UTC 
Description:
After changing style "Table Contents", inserting a row resets the style of the whole table.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new document with Libre Office Writer
2. Insert a table, tick the box "Heading" and set Styles to "Default Table Style"
3. Add "Some text" to the first cell. This should be marked as "Table Contents"
4. Edit the style of "Table Contents": Change size to 10pt, click OK
5. Notice how this change does not affect the text!
6. Highlight "Some text" and select the style "Table Contents".
7. Now the font size of "Some text" changes to 10pt.
8. Click "Insert row below": The font size of "Some text" is now back to 12pt!
9. Click on "Undo: Insert row": The row is deleted but the font size stays at 12pt.

Actual Results:
Inserting a row resets the font size to 12pt.

Expected Results:
Font size should stay at 10pt.


Reproducible: Always

What I can tell you table management will see a lot of changes in the 26.2 or 26.8 version, there is some development in this area. Maybe this bug will be solved by that. Lets wait and see.
