Well, that's just weird. I am also using 1.3.5svn (Beta, April 19) on
Jaunty.

I could select a bunch of them, but the popup box listed only one to
delete.

However, last time I tried it I inadvertently applied a style to text
that I had already formatted. That is because I just selected a random
existing text frame in the document, then Edit Text, then Edit Styles.
So I tried it again, but this time I created a new text frame that
contained no text so I wouldn't inadvertently mess up text that was
already formatted. AND IT WORKED!

But I could only delete a screenful at a time (about 20 or so), because
otherwise the OK button was below the bottom of the screen and the
popup window has no scrollbars. Oh well. Twenty at a time beats the
hell out of one at a time.

In the middle of deleting them I stopped, closed the Style Manager and
Story Editor, and selected another random frame that was already
finished and formatted. Once again I got only one style at a time in
the popup box. Was it because the text frame has to be a virgin frame
for it to work? Or is there something weird about my other text frames.
I'll probably never know.

Thanks for posting the image. Once I saw what you were seeing it helped
a lot. I now have a clean document.
