Default Style seems to inherit bold setting from previous style

I have a pair of styles I am using to write a little user guide. The first style (style1) uses a hanging indent creating a little margin for the dingbats (a right triangle). The other style (style2) is a multi-level bulleted list where the first level bullets are aligned with the offset in style1.



Style1 uses a bold font that is slightly larger than the one for style2. I have style1's paragraph following set to style2.

All this was working perfectly. If I hit CR at the end of a style1 line, I got a style2 paragraph correctly formatted.

Today, I decided that the offset was a little too wide, so I adjusted it by 0.1". Now if I hit CR at the end of a style1 line, I get a style2 paragraph, but with the font settings for style1. If I reassign the paragraph to style2, it formats correctly. I have tried resetting the font settings for style2 to no avail.

Can anyone suggest what might have gone wrong?
