Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 53938
Applying 'default' style to a context-modifed default style paragraph should reset it to the actual default style

Open a writer document and add some text in multiple paragraphs. Select them, apply style default paragraph from Styles pane. Now select some of the paragraphs and apply numbering. Now we have a context modified style. Note that the user has not modified the 'default' style in the styles dialog. Again select one of these numbered lists and apply default style from the stylist. This doesn't reset the numbering. [even ctrl + shift + space doesn't work here] As the styles are classified into paragraph/character/numbering styles, it could be supported that picking the default style from the paragraph section should not remove the numbering. But generally a numbering is a modification to the paragraph also; it changes the indent by default. So IMHO, 'default' style (paragraph) should be the rawest type of formatting that the user wishes to use for her document. Therefore, it should remove the numbering and also set the 'default' paragraph style.
MRU->FL: I don't think, it is good to remove a hard numbering by assigning a different / default style to a paragraph. But maybe it could be good, if the hard numbering is removed when selection "Format.Default formatting" from menu?
