After discussing the style issue with Sophi on IRC regarding her similar bug 84999, it seems that you need to modify the full text defined in a particular style in order for 'update to match selection' to work with or without a selection.

This behaviour is different from MS Word which applies the style based on the selection or the cursor position.

Hi, so confirmed as discussed with Jay on irc. The style is not updated if the paragraph selection is partial, you have to select the whole paragraph to be able to update the style. Tested with Heading1 paragraph style. Sophie
