using AO 4.1.5; for some reason when I type a something on a new line and end it with ':' that is, with the colon, the format of the line changes from my default to 'Heading 3'.

That's supposed to happen - but when you type Ctrl+3, not Shift+: . A few thoughts:

o Go to Tools | Customise... | Keyboard.
o Under Category, open the Styles entry and select Paragraph.
o Under Function, select "Heading 3".
o What does it say under Keys? It should be Ctrl+3; is it something else?

o Go to Tools | Customise... | Keyboard.
o Under Category, select Format.
o Under Function, select Apply.
o What does it say under Keys? It should be nothing; is it something else?

o If Shift+: is being interpreted as Ctrl+3, is there something seriously wrong with your keyboard driver? Or keyboard? What happens if you type Shift+: in another application?

But I'm guessing ...

I trust this helps.

so I had a hypothesis which didn't pan out: thought it might correlate with copying and pasting from the browser or from other people's documents (I get several docs from people I have to comment on). however, I clearly get the effect on opening a new document.

so it passed all your tests. I don't have many other apps to try but nothing like this occurs in Kate or in Kword (hmm..., interesting, never looked at this before!) or even in Calc from the AO suite.

I forgot to play with this on my office computer but I think not it doesn't happen there. I forgot to fetch that default.ott and try it here; will fetch it next time I'm at that machine. (also Linux, Debian; I believe same version of AO.)

will keep scratching.
