If you look at the settings you are talking about, you may notice things like compatibility settings. These are, indeed, application-specific; like e.g. Word would not use them. And LibreOffice itself, when opening files created in newer LO versions, would not know how to use them. But these options, nevertheless, control the appearance of the documents. It allows to keep documents converted from MS Word formats in a shape that was (close to) in Word. Clear them - and your document is broken. You may argue as much as needed, that these must be in styles. Shrug; that is not a topic of this report. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
