Write some lines, apply a predefined bulleted list, and then open "Bullets and Numbering" from the context menu and look which character style is assigned to the bullets. You get: (1) Apply a bulleted list with a single click on the "toggle on/off bullet list" symbol --> character style "Bullets". (2) Apply the small circle by opening the drop-down from the symbol in toolbar --> character style "None" (3) Apply the style "List 1" --> character style "Numbering Symbols".
Repro. Regina: do you think all should get "Bullets" style? Arch Linux 64-bit, KDE Plasma 5 Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: d69e6321fbb2c9f5b4d30890074a230ee6b39d2d CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.10; UI render: default; VCL: kde4; Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); Calc: group Built on April 17th 2016
(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #0) > (2) Apply the small circle by opening the drop-down from the symbol in > toolbar --> character style "None" I think this is the bug that needs to be addressed here, as opening the dialog and clicking any of these presets will set character style to 'Bullets' > (3) Apply the style "List 1" --> character style "Numbering Symbols". This needs to be fixed in bug 106988.
