Default Character-type styles remove previous direct formatting

When I apply to a selection of text a style which is of the type Character,
it seems to overwrite any formatting which was done directly to that
selection.

For example, if I have a word underlined in my selection, and I apply a
Character style which implies making the text blue, then the selection
becomes blue AND the word's underlining disappears.

Is it not possible for a style to just *add* formatting to a selection,
without also removing previous direct formatting?
