Screenshot showing TestStyle in list of custom styles and no option to modify

Problem description: 

A new style created from a manually formatted cell using the "New Style from Selection" option in the Styles list is automatically categorized as "Hidden". Changing this to "Custom" under the "Organizer" tab of the style editor results in the option to modify the style becoming unavailable. The next time you right click on that style the only options are "New" and "Delete".

Steps to reproduce:
1. Format a cell manually
2. With the cell selected click "New Style from Selection" in the Styles list.
3. Name the Style
4. Right click on the new style name in the styles list to open the style editor
5.  On the Organizer tab the Category is shown as "Hidden".  Change this to "Custom" and click OK.
6. Right click on the style again and the only available options are "New" and "Delete"
 
Current behavior:

1. The newly created style is categorized as "Hidden" 
2. Changing the style category to "Custom" results in it no longer being possible to change the style attributes.
3. Set the Filter at the bottom of the Style Window to "Custom Styles" and the new style is listed.
4. Set the Filter at the bottom of the Style Window to "Hidden" and the new style is not shown.

Expected behavior:

1. The newly created style should be automatically categorized as "Custom" 
2. It should remain possible to modify the new style's attributes after correctly categorizing it as a custom style.
3.  The filter operates as if the style is a custom style although it is shown as hidden.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   *Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
   *If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

   *Update the version field
   *Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
   *Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 

1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 
3. Leave a comment with your results. 
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword
