First, change the style > text > volta setting to 5pt. This will make the following easier to demonstrate:

(1) From the advanced palette, double-click a 1st time volta on to the score. It assumes an 11pt text size. Right-click on the volta and chose line properties > text properties > reset to style.

Expected result: Text should change to 5pt.
Actual result: The text remains at 11pt. It requires a score save and reload to apply the menu style

(2) Change the text size to 20pt (in line properties > text properties) and save it to a custom palette. Again, double-click it on to the score, right-click and chose line properties > text properties > reset to style.

Expected result: Text size should change to 5pt.
Actual result: Text size changes to 11pt. Again, it requires a score save and reload to apply the menu style.

If the volta is dragged to the score (rather than double-clicked), it behaves normally.

This issue seems to affect all palette lines – not just voltas.

Implementation note: my guess is this will turn out to be a matter of the text style for the line somehow reflecting the style of "gscore" (the global style used in creating the palette) as opposed to the specific style for the score. And/or a wrong "parent" somewhere. That seems consistent with what I remember about how these lines are created, as well as the observation that it fixes itself on reload.

Similar issue with:

(1) Set Menu style > text > text line to 5 pt.
(2) Double click a guitar position line (see illustration) from advanced palette to the score. It assumes 12 pt size.
(3) Drag and drop another line to the next bar. It assumes 5 pt text.
(4) Right-click on (2). Set the text size to 20pt in line properties. Save it to your user workspace.
(5) Double click (4) on to the score. Go in to line properties and reset to style. The line assumes 12pt (expected result: text set to 5pt)!
(6) Drag-and-drop (4) to the score. Again "reset to style". The line resets to 5pt as expected.

Other lines which incorporate text will also be affected.
