See my comment on Point 2 in https://musescore.org/en/node/274259#comment-844102. It actually sounds like this is "by design". That is, regarding the phrase "reset text to style" - to borrow a timely cultural reference, "I do not think it means what you think it means" (RIP William Goldstein) :-). Apparently the goal is to remove the internal formatting applied by the toolbar at the bottom of the score window, and this does indeed work. But probably we should have a second button that basically hits "reset to default" for all the other controls, and perhaps a third that hits "set as style" for everything. We could also consider renaming the current "Reset Text to Style" button to make the meaning more clear, like "Remove Custom Formatting" (?)

The wording is indeed misleading. I changed the button text as marc suggested. Another idea is to use a 'normal' reset button right to 'text' for this functionality.
