Description: The default settings for a nested numbering are really bad in LibreOffice Writer. Both the distance between the number and the beginning of the text is different in each indentation level and, from the second line onwards, the indentation of the text is no longer aligned with the text in the first line. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a new document in LibreOffice Writer. 2. Select a multi-level numerical numbering. 3. Write multiline texts in different indentation levels. Actual Results: 1. The distance between number and the beginning of the text is different in each indentation level. 2. From the second line onwards, the indentation of the text is not aligned with the text in the first line. Expected Results: 1. Same distance between number and text in each indentation level. 2. Properly aligned multiline text. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info:

Yes the default "Outline 'Numeric with all levels'" has indeed bad settings. This issue is not about not sufficient space for levels, which wide number. That would be covered by other bug reports. Google Docs is wrong in regard to first line indent, but at least the second and further line indent fits to the first line text start.
Format -> Bullets and Numbering -> Outline: there are two pre-defined formats that include multi-level numberings. Because that causes a numbering string longer than the first tabstop, the first line gets pushed out to the second tabstop, and thus looks sloppy.

Note that although the locale can define SymbolTextDistance="50" FirstLineOffset="0", svx/source/sidebar/nbdtmg.cxx lcl_CreateNumberingSettingsPtr just ignores those values - they aren't used. I assume that in order to fix this bug, those values would need to be adjusted and applied.
