Sample File

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open writer
2. Write text on two lines ("test" and "test 2")
3. Set text to Heading 2
4. Put cursor at end of line 1 ("test")
5. Push enter to enter a new line
6. Start bullets/outline mode (use one of the bullet settings that have numbers or letters not just points)
7. Write text after number 1 (or letter A, roman numeral I, w/e style you have chosen)
8. Put cursor at end of line 3 ("test 2")
9. Push enter
10. Start bullets/outline mode again

Result:
You'll see that the numbering does not reset as you would expect

Expected:
Numbering should restart at A, 1, or I depending on what mode you chose

This makes using outline mode within a long detailed document with multiple headings/sub headings virtually impossible. 

Marking as: 
Normal: Can prevent high quality and/or professional quality work
High: makes outlines + headings impossible/useless

Likely a dupe (I'd be shocked if not already reported) but a quick check and I couldn't find one

Just found out it only happens if there was already text there and then you add a new subheader WITHIN the outline itself. If you start from scratch there is no problem. And once this is done there is NO way to
