Description donotspam 2015-08-07 16:42:18 UTC 
Open a new document

Type a word.

Apply bold text style.

Select the word.

Toolbar > Styles dropdown > Heading2 dropdown > Update style to match selection

Expected:  Heading 2 adopts attributes of selected text

Actual: All text based on default style adopts attributed of selected text, heading 2 remains unchanged.

This doesn't always happen but I haven't been able to determine reliably when it does work (or the corresponding steps required to reproduce a success case.)
