lose formatting

When I am making a paragraph body text style, if there is text in the
paragraph that is bold and/or italics, I sometimes lose the bold and/or
italics. I can't figure out why this only happens sometimes (so I avoid it).
If I put the cursor at the beginning of the text or select the whole
paragraph seems to make no difference. Help?
 
The general rule is that when you apply a style, the Default Paragraph Font
of the style is applied. If there is direct font formatting in the paragraph
to which the style is applied, it will be retained if less than half the
text is directly formatted (or if the formatting is applied by a character
style); if more than half of the paragraph has been made bold, italic, etc.,
then the direct formatting is removed.
