For the life of me I can't figure out how to set the third state on tristate checkboxes in PgS on OSX. For example, in the paragraph style editor things like bold, italic, etc., are set to the third state (as-is) by default, but once checked you can only disable or re-enable, you can't set to 'as-is' any more. I've tried every click qualifier I can think of, but no dice.

Have I simply forgotten how to do this? Or is it not possible on PgS OS X?

Hi Tim!

I don't think that you forgot this: also on Windows PGS, you cannot set
this to 'as-is' if you once changed the state.
This came from memory!

So, oops, I can change all three states in Attributes (menu Type). Just
by clicking onto Plain (or Bold, or...). Click (firm), click (grayed
out), click (nothing), click (firm),...
Windows PGS!

Uhm, where is Paragraph Style Editor? In menu Type: Paragraph Format,
Paragraph Rules, and Paragraph Styles (but you can't change anything,
just add a style to text).

Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant Edit/Define/Text Styles and in the resulting dialog

I also just noticed that toggling (in the Text Style Palette) to show only in-use styles results in unexpected and undesired behavior.

Basically, the highlighting of the current style is broken and clicking to select may not give feedback that the style has been clicked.
