My LO Writer (24.8.4.2) only changed the first paragraph. You don't mention if you meant a blank line between the two lines but I added one.

It's still a problem if you leave a blank line. If you make the first line bulleted you now have a bullet on the blank line too.

What do you mean by selecting paragraph? Paragraph styles are applied to the paragraph your line cursor is in or if you highlight/select multiple characters it sets their paragraph to be that paragraph style.
Single character can only be part of a single paragraph. So if you select characters that are in different parahraphs and want to set their paragraph styles it should set all of them.
Ive just tried it in Writer and like i said its seems to be the “norm” how other soft does it (i dont have acess to Word to test that).
Create a document with two one-line paragraphs.
In Word, put the cursor at the start of the first paragraph. Press SHIFT+DOWN. This selects the first paragraph. Apply a paragraph style, Heading 1, say. Paragraph one has the new style, paragraph two does not.
In Writer, do the same thing. The style is applied to both paragraphs!
I use Writer all the time but this funkiness in paragraph selection continues to bug me. You have to select paragraphs excluding the final paragraph mark, which requires more keystrokes than Word's selection behaviour.
