OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 OOO300m15 (build 9379)

I have been using OOo Draw to create a simple mock-UML/ER diagram (document will
be attached).  I have been using Styles to set the formatting of my table
objects to font: "DejaVu Sans 8pt" by altering the style "Default".

This all works fine and I am able to export a PDF of the document which looks
just fine (I'll attach that too as a reference of what the document is supposed
to look like).

When I save/close the document though and then re-open it later, almost all of
the table objects' text has reverted to a default font and size (in the case of
my machine it's "Liberation Sans 18pt").

To reproduce with my document:

NOTE:  This only affects page 2 of the attached document - page 1 uses a
different method (text boxes) and is unaffected.

* Open the document, navigate to page 2.  Click one of the table objects that
has extremely large text.  (I had to click the table-border in able to select it
for the next action, if I had clicked 'inside' the table then no styles are
applied, seemingly because OOo Draw thinks I am selecting text instead of a
drawing object).

* Open Styles and Formatting with F11 and double-click the "Default" style.  The
selected table's text becomes "DejaVu Sans 8pt".

* Save and close the document.

* Re-open the document, navigate to page 2.  On my machine the change I made has
been reversed.
