retain strikeout on style change

Just discovered that when I apply a new paragraph style, any text in strikeout in that paragraph has the strikeout removed. Hadn't expected that, since primary text attributes such as italics are retained.

Would at least like an option to say, either in general Options or in creating / editing a specific style, to say what text attributes should be retained when applying styles to a paragraph.

The strikeout is removed when the target paragraph is entirely formatted with strikeout, and the new style includes no strikeout. The same regarding any other font formatting attribute.

That's not the behaviour I'm seeing. If only part of the para is formatted with strikeout, the strikeout is removed on restyling.

I cannot reproduce this on my system. Can you post a sample document file?

The strikeout attribute, like all other font attributes of a style can have 3 different states, i.e. activated, neutral (inherited), and negated:

Which state is assigned to the strikeout attribute in the Properties of your new paragraph style?
Which state is assigned to the strikeout attribute in the ascendant style of your new paragraph style?
