...difficult to put into a brief summary, but I'll do my best to explain, since
this annoys the hell out of me.

Somewhere in a document you have a blank paragraph, which most has some
whitespace (i.e. no visible characters), to which a style is applied. Following
this is a paragraph of text with a different style applied. You delete the blank
line, and suddenly the text takes on the style of the invisible line.

Believe it or not, this is a feature.  If you have your cursor at the
end of a paragraph (blank or not) and use delete, the style of that
paragraph is applied to the following paragraph (which is now
concatenated with the old paragraph).  If you have your cursor at the
front of a paragraph and use "backspace" to delete, the style in the
paragraph you were in continues to be used.  This enables you to use
either delete or backspace to determine which style you want used with
what remains.

Remember: "Delete" and "Backspace" both preserve the style of the
paragraph in which the cursor was in when they are pressed.
