Description Eyal Rozenberg 2025-11-29 09:47:08 UTC
Reproduction instructions:

1. Create a new Writer doc
2. (Make sure the the style 'Heading 1' has a 'Next Paragraph Style' set to something else, e.g. 'Body Text')
3. Type some text, e.g. "A heading"
4. Set the paragraph style to 'Heading 1'
5. Type a sequence of keyboard keys, with as little delay between typing, beginning with Enter. It may be useful to use both hands, so that one hand types the Enter and the second just taps away on various characters without worrying about what it is that you're typing (in case you're not a very quick typist).

Ideal expected result:
When the cursor moves to the beginning of the new paragraph, the style name (on the Toolbar and Sidebar) changes (e.g. to 'Body Text').

Tolerable expected result:
A short time after the cursor moves to the beginning of the new paragraph, the style name (on the Toolbar and Sidebar) changes (e.g. to 'Body Text').

Actual result:
Only after you stop typing - even if it's for a period of 5, 10, or whatever number of seconds, does the style name change from 'Heading 1'.
