Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Create a text block
- Apply a style to block (text color)
- Create a class and sync the value on it
- Edit again the color to another value
- Sync again on the class
What is the expected behavior? As after point 3, even after point 5 the clear style con color field should disappear and the label state move to "warn"
What is the current behavior? After point 5 the value is correctly synchronized on the class, but che clear style is still active. Moreover, pressing it will cause a sequence of invalid states:
- clear style active - sync invisible
- clear style pressed
- clear style invisible - sync visible
- sync pressed
- clear style invisible - sync invisible -> value disappeared from id and class (back to default)

Thanks for reporting this, @codingaddicted.
Great question about in component first mode, sync works only the first time on UI feedback. The recommended approach with StyleManager is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
