BUG: Character styles does not, plus sign and redefine style gray

Pages, Keynote, and Numbers, the feature of character styles seem to be broken.

When I select a character and want to create a new style of character formatting, the menu will not let me. The sign is not clickable. This is clearly a bug and should be fixed because it annihilates completely the reusability of the layouts for Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

In the screenshot below, I select (highlight) a character that is part of a paragraph style with the style named body, displayed in the form of body + in paragraph styles.

The changes to the formatting should let me save in the form of a character style, but the sign is grey. Redefine the style of the menu item is grayed out as well.

This behavior started during a few Mac OS x versions.

What can I do about it?

Using Pages v5.6.2 on OS X 10.11.5.

As long you select text including the existing character style is zero, the ability to add (blue sign) a new character style is denied. Just as this is true, whenever I changed the fonts or the attributes of a letter, a word or group of either, the possibility to add a new character style became available.

Apple did not have a special version of Pages for me, and I can't reproduce what you're proclaiming as a BUG.
