This is annoying, but I'm not sure it's a bug per se. If your default 
font is something other than what you've highlighted, it's not exactly a 
mistake for it to be identified.

I would suggest that you highlight the text from the other direction: go 
to the end of the line, then Shift-Home. I tried this just now and this 
avoids seeing the default font in Properties > Text tab.

What I have found more annoying yet inconsistent is in Story Editor when 
you change the style, then hit Return, the style doesn't always carry 
over to the next paragraph.
