Description: Changing the bullets or numbering incorrectly changes the tab positions by the amount the outline number changes. The tab positions should remain at their position. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add to tab position to a paragraph. 2. Click on ‘Bulleted List’ or ‘Numbered List’ 3. The tab position has changed Actual Results: 'Bulleted lists' and 'numbered lists' change the tab position. Expected Results: 'Bulleted lists' and 'numbered lists' should *not* change the tab position.

Thank you for reporting the bug. Personally I think, it's not a bug. The tab position is defined with the Bullet List or the Numbered List. So if you choose one of those lists, the tab position will change. You can find some informatons about it in the writer-documentation (chapter 7): https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications I changed the status to NOTABUG. If you don't agree, feel free to change it back to UNCONIRMED.

What is the way forward to getting the bug fixed without verbose explanations like previous bugs that have previously been written, set as NOTABUG, and then implemented and set to FIXED? Thank you

The way there is perilous and your report might get eaten by the hell-hounds of UX team.
Lists do have their own style including tab definition. If you want numbers and bullets to align with your paragraph you have to configure it. If you are talking about the default I believe it depends a lot on the use case. =>WF Good news is that we plan to rework the dialog. https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/10/28/impress-lists/

Will reworked dialog be implement across the LO suite (including Writer)? Could you please advise which figure in the rework dialogs enable the tabs and bullets/numbering to be independent of each other? Have you checked the default behaviour of other Office suites? Google Docs and MS Word Bullets and Numbering do not change the tab positions; hence, could you please advise: 1. Where the option is to enable tab positions to be independent of the bullets and numbering; or 2. How to write the enhancement bug ticket so that a workflow similar to Google Docs and MS Word can be enabled in LO Writer. Thank you
Should the status have been changed to UNCONFIRMED with the submission of: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113930#c5 Thank you
(In reply to Óvári from comment #5) > 1. Where the option is to enable tab positions to be independent of the > bullets and numbering; or That will not happen. We are restricted to the ODF which defines paragraph style over table style (discussed now in bug 114287) with a default value on the indentation and tab. What you ask for, zero indentation with tabs, is possible via dedicated style but not when you directly format (click the bullet at the toolbar). > 2. How to write the enhancement bug ticket so that a workflow similar to > Google Docs and MS Word can be enabled in LO Writer. MS Word is similar to Writer except it automatically changes the paragraph style from 'default' to 'list' - but the bullets are indented anyway. GDocs has no indentation before the bullet, most likely defined somewhere in the code. So if you request to change the default indentation of lists feel free to file another ticket. But this change needs much acceptance in the community so be aware of getting rejected.
