Example slide which was extracted from a PPTX some time ago

1. Open the attached .odp and click on the line which says "Try to demote".
2. Click on the demote button (which is not greyed out).

Clicking on it does nothing.

OS: openSUSE Leap 42.1, x64.

Comment 8 BogdanB 2025-04-19 05:23:55 UTC 
Indeed, using the existing file it can NOT be demoted.

But, what I have notice is if I am starting a new element after Line 2, and demote it and save, it will work. Mayne that element was not created correct. 

Buovjaga and szotsaki, could you please try that? Maybe the internal structure for that element was created somehow different, and it is not a bug.

Good point: the structure is like so:

<draw:custom-shape draw:name="Shape 140" draw:style-name="gr1" draw:text-style-name="P5" draw:layer="layout" svg:width="13.393cm" svg:height="8.808cm" svg:x="6.607cm" svg:y="4.612cm">
  <text:list text:style-name="L1">
    <text:list-item>
      <text:p text:style-name="P1">
        <text:span text:style-name="T1">Line 1</text:span>
      </text:p>
    </text:list-item>
  </text:list>
  <text:list text:style-name="L2">
    <text:list-item>
      <text:list>
        <text:list-item>
          <text:p text:style-name="P2">
            <text:span text:style-name="T2">Line 2</text:span>
          </text:p>
        </text:list-item>
      </text:list>
    </text:list-item>
  </text:list>
  <text:list text:style-name="L3">
    <text:list-item>
      <text:p text:style-name="P3">
        <text:span text:style-name="T3">Try to demote</text:span>
      </text:p>
    </text:list-item>
  </text:list>
  <text:list text:style-name="L4">
    <text:list-item>
      <text:list>
        <text:list-header>
          <text:p text:style-name="P4">
            <text:span text:style-name="T2"/>
          </text:p>
        </text:list-header>
      </text:list>
    </text:list-item>
  </text:list>

So each item *is in a separate list*. When we add a new item as Bogdan said, it is created as a sibling item inside one of the lists, so demote works in that context.

Let's close as invalid.
