When editing a style changing some rule, applying it, changing same rule back and trying to apply it fails. Preview updates correctly. Steps one by one: 1. From "Styles and Formatting" "Modify" a style 2. Change some rule, ex: change font style from regular to bold -> preview updates accordingly 3. Click Apply -> style in documents updates accordingly 4. Change same rule back to original setting, ex: set font style back to regular -> preview updates 5. Click Apply -> nothing happens To change style back it is necessary to close the style window, re-open it and then make the change. Only prevents setting a rule back to original value (when the window was opened). Does not affect the preview. A little frustrating when trying to fine-tune styles.
This is very hard to reproduce and the behavior is weird. To say the least, I confirm something very similar. What I can say is that if you select the text and double click on the style - it applies the new style (so no need to go back into the dialog and do all that) but none the less I can see where this would be an issue. Thank you for reporting this issue!
