Expected dialogue window (LO 3.5.6.2)

When I modify a standard style (e.g. Heading1) in "Styles and Formatting", the organizer page no longer shows the checkbox "AutoUpdate", like it did in LibreOffice 3.5.6.2 (Build ID: e0fbe70-dcba98b-297ab39-994e618-0f858f0).

For custom styles (i.e. the ones I can delete), the checkbox is available and working as expected.

I'm attaching two screenshots of the same dialogue window in LO 3.5.6.2 and LO 4.0.3.3 rc.

I came across this because I need the workaround mentioned in the comments for bug 53360.

Hello,

I can confirmed this behavior on Version 4.0.2.2 (Build ID: 4c82dcdd6efcd48b1d8bba66bfe1989deee49c3)

I think too that it's only related with a UI's regression, perhaps is-it related with the VCL to GTK+ transition ?

Because the right behavior is still working on "standard style" when this attribute is indicate in source code : "style:auto-update="true".

Yes dear developper, it's not the good place to troll about this, but I like this appropriate comment about this controverse, perhaps this paper should be interesting for you:

I'm relatively sure that this is solved now - just checked with 4.1.1.2 and it looks good. 

Marking as WFM - I am using Linux but I can't imagine there being a difference between OSX and Linux. If you still see the problem in OSX with 4.1.1.2 or later please mark as UNCONFIRMED and I'll try to track down an OSX QA person.
