The "Update to Match Selection" is broken in a way that makes the feature unusable. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new document 2. Enter some words separated by newlines 3. The text has Paragraph Style "Default Style" by default 4. Select the first line and set the text to Bold 5. With the first line still selected, open the "Apply Style" dropdown and press the small arrow next to "Heading 1", then choose "Update to Match Selection" Expected result: The style "Heading 1" should be updated to match the formatting of the selection, and the Paragraph Style of the selected paragraph should be updated to "Heading 1". The look of the paragraph should not change. Actual result: The style "Heading 1" stays untouched. Instead the "Default Style" is updated with the formatting of the selection. The Paragraph Style of the selected paragraph does not change. In the whole document all paragraphs using the "Default Style" are updated with the new formatting. Additional Notes: This works correctly in Microsoft Word. This bug breaks the feature completely, as there is no way to update any Paragraph Style with the actual styling of a given paragraph, unless the paragraph already has that Paragraph Style.
