If this is a recent regression, the regression range would be very helpful https://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/

Unfortunately, I don't know when this first appeared. I think it may have been around forever, or ever since the Paragraph style was introduced, or ever since Paragraph style was made the default. I guessing the answer is since "forever". :-\

Bug 678618?

Yep. The STR in the report of bug 678618 are the exact same STR for this bug.

bug 678618 is was opened 12 years ago, so my guess for the age of this bug of "since forever" was not too far off. ;-)
