Description: Microsoft Word has a very... unique way to handle lists with tabs and custom styles, which is not interpreted well in LibreOffice Writer in some cases. The result of this is different text positioning (effective tab sizes) in bulleted lists. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a simple document with a bulleted list in Microsoft Word and select it. 2. Adjust List Indents (Right click on the list > Adjust List Indents) as follows: Bullet position 5 cm ; Text indent: 5,5 cm ; [X] Add tab stop at: 5,5 cm 3. Create a New Style; 4. Change the left indent from 5 cm to 0,5 cm in the paragraph settings of the newly created style with the following setting. 5. Save the file as DOCX, open it in LibreOffice Writer and compare the two. Actual Results: Both Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer keep the original tab settings in the Adjust Line Indents (MSO) / Bullets and Numbering (LO) windows, but only LibreOffice Writer actually applies the setting (5,5 cm) resulting a different text position after the bullet. Expected Results: LibreOffice Writer should position the text after the bullet just like Microsoft Word does when importing the DOCX file. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:

There are two visual things going on here. The first one is the starting position, and the second is the distance between the bullet point and the text. Prior to the identified patch, the starting position was near the centre of the page (bad), with the text nearby (good). After the patch, the starting point is approximately in the correct place (good), but the tabstop has kept the text roughly in the same spot in the centre of the page (nochange).
In the old version Word 2003, there is also a large gap - identical to LO6.1
There seems to be two problems. 1.) The style's hanging indent doesn't seem to be applied. I could make an argument for - if (nParaRightMargin != 0) + if ( true ) Secondly, even when that is done, the layout doesn't change, even though the paragraph margins look correct. If you change the left/first paragraph margins, and then change them back, then it IS laid out correctly (especially if you visit the tab page and notice that no tabs are set).

Verified with bibisect-win64-6.5 that this started to look good since the fix to bug #78352 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 78352 ***
