[1.7.0.227] Character styles applied to bullets incorrectly

[Goner__]

I may be doing something wrong but after defining a custom character style (which changes for instance the bullet's font size, colour and baseline shift) and applying it via Paragraph Style --> Bullets and Numbering --> Style, SOME (though not all) properties are not applied consistently. 

Namely, everything is ok for paragraphs using the style at the time it is defined / updated. However, when applying the style to new paragraphs, SOME paragraph style properties seem to be applied to the bullet instead of the character style. (Colour, for instance, seems to be always correct, unlike font size, baseline shift, leading override etc.)

How to recreate: 

• create a "Bulleted" paragraph style with font size 12pt, Auto colour
• create a "Red Bullet" character style with font size 8pt, baseline shift -2pt and red colour
• apply the character style to bullets in the "Bulleted" paragraph style

In this scenario:

• already existing "Bulleted" paragraphs will have correctly formatted bullets using the "Red Bullet" character style
• when applying the "Bulleted" paragraph style to an unformated paragraph, the bullet will be RED with a font size of 12pt (instead of 8pt as defined in "Red Bullet"), without baseline shift. 

Hopefully you can understand what I mean.

Anyway, hats off for all the hard work you put into Publisher. It's shaping up to be a delight to work with!

Thanks for the kind words, I've reproduced the issue you describe here and logged it for the developers.
