Fill Format Mode not available in special case

Maybe a REGRESSION but can't test it at the moment. Maybe Linux only. Please follow these steps: 1. Close AOO if opened. 2. Start AOO. 3. Create a new text document. Make sure that "Styles and Formatting" isn't visible and not opened before! If not so restart with 1. 4. Enter some (at least one) paragraphs. 5. Format this paragraph or not; enter a new name (e. g. "MyTest") for the paragraph style in the formatting toolbar in the field "Apply Style" and press Enter => a new paragraph style with the given name is created. 6. _Now_ open the "Styles and Formatting" dialog. Result: The icon for "Fill Format Mode" is disabled. One can enable the icon by changing the style section, but it will not work.
Configuration information: Computer - Lenovo Ideapad Z580 Operating System - Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64-bit (Linux kernel 3.16.0-38-generic) Open Office Version - 4.1.1 Build Information - AOO411m6(Build:9775) - Rev. 1617669 Steps I took to recreate the bug: 1 Open a new Document in Writer. 2 Type any amount of characters ( I wrote a paragraph of around 250 characters in length.) 3 In the Formatting Toolbar (which by default is the lowest toolbar), in the selection box labeled “Apply Style,” Highlight the current style, and type in a new name (ex. “MyStyle”) 4 Open “Styles and Formating” (Found to the right of the “Apply Style” selection) 5 Click on the “Fill Format Mode” icon. Result: The “Fill Format Mode” icon is now whited-out and unselectable. Upon selecting a format, the icon colors in, and is selectable, but the feature still does not work. Also attempted were tests with three alternate versions of step 4: 1 Open the top Format menu, then Select “Styles and Formating.” 2 Open “Styles and Formatting” via the F11 Shortcut. 3 Open “Styles and Formatting” from the colored vertical toolbar on the right side of the document. Each of these tests had the same result as the original. Attached to my comment are three screenshots: 1 FillFormatBug1.png - shows the “Fill Format Mode” icon before replication steps. 2 FillFormatBug2.png - shows three of the four methods used to access Styles and formating per step 4 and its alternate steps (Not pictured is the use of the F11 shortcut.) 3 FillFormatBug3.png - shows the “Fill FOrmat Mode” icon after replication steps.

The problem with "Fill Format Mode" being disabled can be seen on Widnows 10 as well. When changing between different formatting in the list, or change the filtering from "automatic" to "list all", the "Fill Format Mode" becomes available again.
