Description Jason White 2019-01-30 16:43:21 UTC
Description:
LibreOffice Writer
Version: 6.2.0.2 (x64)
Build ID: 2ce5217b30a543f7666022df50f0562f82be0cff

Context: There are ten (10) Numbering Styles included in every new Writer Document by default - they are useful. This bug makes it hard (but not impossible) to view and edit Numbering Styles.

Issue: Numbering Styles are not listed in Style Manager(View->Styles) when "All Styles" is selected in the style-type filter drop-down menu. The Style manager failing to display the Numbering Styles that are present inside the document is a bug.


Workaround:
Currently to view or edit a Numbering Style you must perform the following procedure:
Step 1. Open the Style Manager (View->Styles or press F11)
Step 2. Edit a Paragraph Style (for example: right click on "Header" style and select "Modify").
Step 3. Click the Outline & Numbering Tab (Title bar will say: "Paragraph Style: Header")
Step 4. Under "Numbering Style" drop-down menu select a numbering style (for example: "Numbering 123" or "List 1")
Step 5: Click the "Edit Style" button to the right of the drop-down menu. You can now view or edit the settings of the selected Numbering Style

Fixing this bug in the Style Manager would reduce the number of steps to view or edit a Numbering Style.

Expected Behavior after Fix:
When this bug is fixed the user will only have to perform the following steps to view or edit a Numbering Style:
(When Fixed) Step 1. Open the Style Manager (View->Styles or press F11)
(When Fixed) Step 2. Select "All Styles" in the style-type filter drop-down menu. The Numbering Styles will appear in the list of styles.
(When Fixed) Step 3. Right click the desired Numbering Style (for example: "Numbering 123" or "List 1") and select "Modify." You can now view or edit the settings of the selected Numbering Style.

It should be relatively straightforward to include Numbering Styles in the list of styles shown by the Style Manager when "All Styles" is selected.



Steps to Reproduce:
See related reproduction steps in description.

To see that Numbering Styles are not shown in the Style Manager perform the following Procedure:
Step 1: Open the Style Manager (View->Styles or press F11)
Step 2: Select "All Styles" in the style-type filter drop-down menu located inside the Style Manager
Step 3: Inspect the list of styles shown. The following 10 default Numbering Styles that are present in every new Writer document will not be present:
* List 1
* List 2
* List 3
* List 4
* List 5
* Numbering 123
* Numbering ABC
* Numbering IVX
* Numbering abc
* Numbering ivx


Actual Results:
The 10 default Numbering Styles listed above were missing from the Style Manager list of styles. (See related steps in description for current workaround to view or edit Numbering Styles)

Expected Results:
The following 10 default Numbering Styles should have appeared in the Style Manager:
* List 1
* List 2
* List 3
* List 4
* List 5
* Numbering 123
* Numbering ABC
* Numbering IVX
* Numbering abc
* Numbering ivx


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
A workaround has been described for viewing and editing Numbering Styles however fixing this bug would make it significantly easier.

Jason, you propose to mix paragraph styles and list styles (as far as I understand your report). I don't think, that this would be a good idea. If you open styles (F 11) you have access to the different types of styles: paragraph, list, page, character, table. So list styles are listed in the syle manager. For me NOTABUG.

I agree. Closing as RESOLVED NOTABUG
