sample file for outline numbering

I have three levels of heading set, using the outline numbering. Level 1 is "Heading 1", level 2 is 'Heading 2", level 3 is "Heading 3".

If I type the text for a subheading (say level 2 heading) then set the style for tha paragraph to "Heading 2" it does not have the correct heading number until I right click on the heading and select "Continue previous numbering".

FUrthermore, if there is a bulleted list between the previous Level 2 heading and the new heading, selecting "Continue previous numbering" causes the level 2 heading to be bulleted, not numbered.

As far as I can tell this holds for both .docx and .odt files.
I have attached an example file with two lines called "Test Case" which can be used as example headings in the two situations above.

If a level 2 heading is copied and pasted to the new location the numbering works as expected.

Not sure, if this is a bug or a feature, so adding needAdvice.

You should open a new report for this. I tried to check for existing reports, but could not find any. You might want to double check.

The new bug 100631 was marked as RESEOLVED NOTABUG. So what about this bug? Is it still valid?
Comment 5 Regina Henschel 2017-06-28 08:48:56 UTC
It is the same problem as in bug 100631. A list numbering is put on top of the chapter numbering.
