The dialog looks great on Linux. We have to check why it falls apart on Windows. Maybe it's not particular to this dialog, but a more general issue.
Hmm, confirming as well. We briefly had the dialog panels split into a Format -> "Bullets and Numbering" --showing Position & Customize; and a Format -> "Numbering and Position"--which already had layout issues. Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha1+ (2019-05-28) Build ID: 37103a3f008c13dee21d55c8da9e6af807b1997c Now, current master/6.4.0alpha0, the Bullets and Numbering dialog has been replaced with the broken Numbering and Position panels--and the Position and Customize panels are missing. Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x86) (2019-06-02) Build ID: 88f48b51f3cf25c78db278499d46d4913ab442ed

After https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=2265574dd571593e0070754ebd053eef6098ac98 and https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=9823786d74bb86c7827a777ef517ba753f58b872 things improved a lot (thanks Mike and Caolán). There are still a few issues left. Gülsah, you can test it on Linux, too. Start LibreOffice with: SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen instdir/program/simpress On the fist open, when type is Bullet: 1) Alignment buttons don't have graphics 2) Preview area is scrollable with the mouse wheel, probably it's slightly too small.
Created attachment 151951 [details] screenshot with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen When switching from Type: Bullet to Type: 1, 2, 3, the "Start at:" widget appears, at the same time Preview and Level widgets become bigger and overlap with the buttons at the bottom of the dialog.

Created attachment 152942 [details] screnshot 1 I can add some additional info about Layout issues here: all controls in the dialog don't have an alignment (see screenshots with red line)

Commented on https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/71944/: * Section headers are done in bold with indented content, you do this only for Properties but with expanders for Position etc. Expanders makes not much sense here. * The alignment of type and character controls is not pixel-perfect. * It _would be nice_ to get a grid for the most recently used characters. * We merged the alignment into the fine-tuning - so it comes after color and does not occupy extra space somewhere else. * The color dropdown has an issue (two triangles). * At the levels list we have 1-10 (=all) as an extra item but this would better go into a checkbox that disables the individual section (would be the default). * When I wheel-scroll through the type, the depending controls are not updated (needs to be a click). * "Apply to Master" is too big (and has no accelerator key, likewise some other controls). * The dialog should also become the standard in other modules. And later: "Talked with Andreas Kainz about the new layout and the grid is actually important because it resembles the current Presets. So when the user chooses Numbers under type we have a gid of predefined number options there. If it's bullets the grid shows this. And for characters it provides easy access to symbols. Ideally, the new number and bullet presets can be extended like the characters." "Alternatively, we could also have a column left of levels that provides presets as known from the area fill dialog. We ship a couple of presets and the user can extend it easily with what she configures." Haven't checked back what's fixed meanwhile.
