New text in binder: wrong formatting and font: Beta 2.9.9.7

New text binder: wrong formatting and font: 2.9.9.7 Beta

Today, adding new text to binder with project-> new text, right clicking, cntrl-n.

The doc is Sitka text regular 12, single line spacing, view 150%.

None of these settings are correct.

When converting to default formatting, indents are inserted, but no other changes.

All fonts as listed on the File-options-editing-formatting have been set to sitka.

==========

I opened a backup from yesterday: same results when adding text.

Any ideas as to how the default formatting was removed?
