Description Nithin 2018-05-26 13:37:53 UTC 
Description:
The preview position tab is not as expected. Here is what i would expect the preview to be/do. The preview shows the heading and the text following it in the preview window. The preview is for the Heading level selected on the left side pane. If i select 1 it should show me what the heading/following text for level 1 headings look like. If i select 2 then for 2. If i select 1-10 then all of them together.on beĺow the other. What is observed is something else.

Steps to Reproduce:
In the position Tab, for level 1 heading change "Numbering followed by"  to "Space". A small space is shown in the preview before the Horizontal line
Click on level 2 - Nothing changes in the preview
Click on level 3 - The small space in the preview disappears. 


Now give numbering to the levels in the "Numbering" Tab and try the same.

Actual Results:  
When level 10 is selected something completely different happens and some lines disappear.

Expected Results:
I don#t know what the expected behavior should be Can someone shed light on it.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Comment 1 Dieter 2018-05-27 05:16:50 UTC 
I confirm it.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a document with chapter numbering
2. Tools => Chapter Numbering => Position
3. Change position for level 1 to "Numbering followed by tab stop" and "Tab position 2 cm"
4. Do the same for level 2 and 3

Result:
If you now select level 1 or 1-10, tab stop positions of level 1 to 3 are shown correctly
If you select level 3, tab stop position of level 3 isn't shown.
If you select level 4, tab top position of level 2 and level 3 isn't shown.
If you select level 5 and higher, no tab stop position is shown.

Expected result:
Tab stop positions should always shown correctly in the preview, when they are defined.

Additional informations:
Same result with "Numbering followed by space"
if you select level 10, previews disappears

Comment 2 Heiko Tietze 2018-05-27 07:36:14 UTC 
The "Level" list selects what you can tweak on the middle column under "Numbering". And the preview shows all together, which is correct IMHO, since you want to know how the levels relate to each other. Thing is that this dialog has the same UI/workflow as other numbering dialogs and thereby the shortcomings noted in https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/10/28/impress-lists/

This ticket has likely a duplicate.

@Heiko, The preview I was referring to are the ones in Attachment_1 and Attachment_2, What you were referring to is the one in Attachment_3. It makes sense in Preview of in Attachment_3 to see all levels relative to one another. But in the Attachment 1 and 2, I would expect see only the Selected Level and not all levels. 

It can be made to show a preview how the selected level with multiple lines and following text would look like in Attachment_4. What are your opinions. 

My argument here is that, relative positional relationship between different Headings is available in the Numbering Tab. So in the Position tab we can show only the required level, with more detailed information.

True, that preview is weird. Hope we can fix that.

With further testing I could specify the behaviour:

1. change Tab stop of a level, press O.K. and reopen => everything looks fine
2. change to another level and back => preview of that level not correct, but it is correct for all previous levels


I added keywords possibleRegression and bibisectrequest because of comment 10

I don't see this as a regression and remove bibisectRequest. Ok to add but after test not based upon someone's comment. 

If Numbering is changed to add numbers, than it's visible that in Position every other line is wrong, it's too long previous line. 

This is not minor but confusing, so I set Normal.
