Description otula 2025-11-28 20:16:18 UTC
Description:
Assigning a table style applies direct formatting to the table's contents, which is in direct conflict with proper document editing principles.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. You have defined a style for the table content. And you have a table. 
2. Now you open the table styles panel and assign a style to the table, for example Academic. 

Actual Results:
The text inside the table is reformatted using direct formatting and therefore ignores your defined style. 

Expected Results:
Text inside a table is not formatted with direct formatting.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
This is completely pointless and goes against the principles of using styles. You must then select the table and remove the direct formatting with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M, otherwise you risk future problems. If you do not do this, it will prevent you from subsequently editing the table content uniformly.
