Paragraph style suddenly fails

I have paragraph styles for a document I am working on. A style that I have used in the document many times has suddenly failed - it is a bullet, and attached image shows the change. I have selected the text in question, held down Option (Mac) and double clicked the style with no benefit.

What has happened ?

    Use SHIFT+OPTION click, does that solves it?

    What happens if you click below the problem line and backspace.

    Looks like it’s set to full justify.

    Certainly looks like it, but it would seem to be an override, if it is…

    Waiting on some screen caps that will show that.

    There’s not enough information in your screen shot to identify the problem. Please show us a capture of the Paragraph Styles panel with the cursor in the problem paragraph and a capture of the General and Indents and Spacing screens in the style definition dialog for the style.

    I still need to see the paragraph Styles panel with the cursor in the paragraph. Don’t crop off the top of the panel.
