Hi everyone, I have a simple test document to experiment with text, character, and paragraph formatting. In this document I made a text frame with some characters in it and then applied a drop cap, using the Paragraph panel's dropdown styles list. I then tried to remove the drop cap, but despite setting everything in sight back to "[No Style]", and using the "Reset Format" button in the Text Styles panel, the drop cap refuses to go away. I have noticed this with some other character/text/paragraph attributes. Once set, they seem to persist even when you try to get rid of them. Why is this, and is there any one-click or other simple facility in Affinity Publisher Beta to thoroughly remove all applied text/character/paragraph attributes from text and set it back to "no added attributes", leaving only the raw text in place? If so I have not yet found it. I'm attaching the test document and a screenshot of settings. If I'm missing something I'd be glad to understand what that is. At present I'm thinking this is a bug. Thanks in anticipation... drop cap - character format persistence bug in AfPub.afpub
