Bug Description

Since installing the most recent PPA version of LibreOffice writer in Saucy, I find that whenever I close and then reopen an odt file, one or more random paragraphs have been changed from whatever style they were ("Text Body", "Heading 2," etc.) to "Default Style." Each time I open the same document, a different paragraph or random paragraphs are in Default Style. I never use Default Style, not even in my templates, so I'm certain this is not a case of me just forgetting to format things. And it's not a case of moving from docx to odt--I'm simply closing a file then reopening it in the same format.

The first paragraph in this was saved as "Title-lead" paragraph style. I exported it to PDF (in which it maintained this style), closed it, then opened it, and now it looks like this, the first paragraph having changed to "Default Style". (Strangely, a header and footer also seem to have been added.) This is just one example of what happens nearly on a daily basis, usually with academic articles I'm writing. I don't have any other examples for the moment because I tend to fix them as soon as they happen but I can attach another the next time it happens.
