8va text reverts to default 12 when other "line properties" are changed
Drag and drop an 8va line with end hook to a score. Go into line properties and change the beginning text-size to 10pt. Exit the box and check that changes have been applied. Now go into line properties again and change the length of the end hook.
Expected result: End hook length should change.
ACTUAL result: Text also resets to default 12 pt!
A similar issue has been reported previously. When you change the text size of 8va text then exit and return to the line properties, the "text size" field still reads the default 12.

Confirmed. There's not an actual issue for the previous report, is there? Just a forum post? Don't bother creating one if there isn't; it' almsot certainly the same issue.
Seems to affect ottava only, not pedal or other text lines.
FWIW, there is a text style for ottava, so assuming you aren't trying to have one ottava have smaller text that the rest, it would be simpler & more effective to just change the style. It won't affect existing lines, but due to this bug, all you will need to do to update a line to the default is go to Line Properties and clikc OK.

I suspect the issue is improper management of properties between OttavaSegment and either TextLineSegment and Ottava. That is, places where OtttavaSegment should be falling back to Ottava rather than TextLineSegment, or vice versa.
Not sure this is related, but changing the continue text to an empty string doesn't survive a save/close/open
And isn't this a duplicate of #66741: Ottavas: "Line properties…" displays the wrong value for font-size
