Question on "Live CSS"

I've recently gotten into some serious epub editing, and while I'm figuring out most of it, one thing is really stumping me.

99% of the time, the Live CSS window points me to exactly where I need to fix something or make a change. But once in a while, it is weird. Say I want to change a text indent. The body style is "calibre", the paragraph style is "calibre1", and there is a span with class="calibre2" around the paragraph, and no surrounding div's or anything. No styling in the header, just the link to the CSS. The Live CSS reflects all this, as expected.

Messing with those styles does nothing to my indent. But, experimenting at random, I make a change to "calibre13" (for example) in the CSS, and bingo! my indent changes. And I can't find anything using "calibre13" anywhere near the text I'm dealing with--not anywhere in that file.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing--where to look--how it is working?

Many thanks.
