Option (b) is the only correct option in my view. I tried the same example in
MS Word and the result was quite strange as step 5 resulted in 'LibreOffice'
being bold and the other text being not bold, and step 6 resulted in all the
text being bold and no longer looking like step 4.

Please provide an example that is only DF, if it has nothing to do with styles,
and not using paintbrush, as that opens up a different set of problems.

this would be a bug in paintbrush in my view.

I hit the "a" and only the "a" turned regular, so i'm assuming you clicked on
the entire word.

I could agree with you and Heiko on this behaviour.
