APub - Text styles not consistent within a paragraph

[CliveH]

I have a problem with formatting text which occurs a few times in a large document.  I haven't been able to pin down what causes some linked text boxes to have the problem and others not but the attached afpub file consistently shows the problem.  The document has two pages with a text box on both pages and the second box linked to the first.  The final paragraph on the first page exceeds the space available and so spills onto the box on the second page.  This final paragraph is intended to be all body text (with a style set up for that) but as you can see the first two words (The designated) show a paragraph style of 'body+' and the font size is increased.  If I place the cursor in those two words and apply the 'body' paragraph style the whole paragraph is set to body style - except for the words left on the second page which now have a much smaller font.  If I then place the cursor in those words and apply body style they increase to the correct size - but the first two words in the paragraph again have their font size increased.  It doesn't seem to be related to the specific paragraph - if I insert more text on page one (so that the whole of this paragraph is 'pushed' onto page two) then it is formatted correctly in all body style but the paragraph which is split between the two pages shows the same symptoms of different formatting.

This is on Win 10 - Pub version 1.7.3.481.   I've also tried on the latest (518) beta and get the same behaviour there.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug (and if so any ideas on a workaround)?

Thanks

Clive

Sorry to say, but I am glad this is happening not only to me. Most people here ask, if the text frames were scaled by the second lower right handle. I guess like me, you did not scale the text frame. Only fix I know of, is to copy the text without formatting into new text frames and make the formatting new.

I first noticed this behaviour, when I opened PDF with APu.

Thanks for the feedback.  This document did originate as a pdf file so maybe that's the underlying issue. 

I'll try setting it up again.
