paragraph style : bullets not removed when going back to a paragraph style without bullets

I think that this is a regression. I have a _paragraph style_ to which I specified a _bullet style_. If I set to some paragraph this style, and then try to go back to a paragraph style with no bullets, the bullet is not removed.
I wrote a bit quickly the issue... The real problem is that before applying the list style, I had a bullet on the paragraph... I think that in this specific case: - you have put a bullet previously, - you changed to a paragraph style with a bullet, - you now change to a paragraph with no bullet, the previously added bullet should be removed and you should have no bullet anymore. Maybe this is now more an enhancement that a defect.
That's not fully true. The previously assigned bullet is a hard paragraph attribute and won't be overwritten by a style's attribute. It's the same behavior as in character styles.
Closed.
I understand the behaviour, and why it works the way it does, but it is not what I would expect. When changing to a style with no bullets the user probably forgot that there were bullets before. He wants to get back to a normal paragraph with no bullets. Thus, in that specific case, removing the hard paragraph attribute is what I would expect.
