i can now reproduce this effect in other books

where I have a working 1st para of the form
<p class="normal noindent">blah....

I just have to cut the noindent definition and move it higher in css, so that it is defined before normal is defined. e.g. make it 1st line of css, right after the @namespace line

the noindent property then stops working. ( as viewed in sigil book mode)
I am using this simple 1 line formula .noindent {text-indent: 0}

I hear all that you say about it shouldn't happen, but it does - maybe sigil is written in a slightly non-compliant way ?

please test in sigil.

my EXACT sequence: view a chapter of previously fixed up book ,in book mode - see no indent working ok in para 1 - now go to css, move that noindent definition line up to top of css, to back to previous chapter viewed & switch back to book mode in sigil - voila!
