I've had this as a difficulty, and believe I've mentioned it here, but it wasn't quite what it seemed. I've imported objects that already had imported styles. Since the object name is tagged onto the front of the style name when you import, unless you take the time to rename them all everytime you import, the names can get awfully long. The text box listing styles only gets so wide. The names are left justified, and the right side ends up being the end of the longest name. So it's entirely possible (and I suspect likely) that you're original styles are still there, they've just been pushed so far to the left that you can no longer see them in the box. When I've had objects with tons of layers and styles, I have to name things pretty descriptively, and run up against this wall immediately. I only figured it out because I did I imported something, one of the original style names was unusually long, and all I could see was the last few characters peeking out. After renaming all the imported styles to something a lot shorter, I could see my original styles again.
It wouldn't be as pretty, but right justifying the style names would be a quick fix. Of course, it would be nice if the window would size to the longest name.
