Description Alex 2019-11-10 18:37:17 UTC
Description:
In a nested list with some unnumbered/non-bulleted entries and associated subpoints, trying to move the unnumbered/non-bulleted entries with its subpoints gives inconsistent or unexpected results.
The problem occurs with the 'Move Down/Up with Subpoints' functions as well as with the 'Demote/Promote One Level With Subpoints' functions.

When one tries to move or demote/promote the entry with its subpoints, the entry is not displaced with its subpoints but:
- either with the entry above (if it is a numbered/bulleted entry)
- or with the last subpoint of the entry above (if the above entry has subpoints - whther or not they are numbered/bulleted)
- or not moved at all if the entry above is an unnumbered/non-bulleted entry

Further, when one tries to move an unnumbered/non-bullted entry UP, the entry moves up two levels and not just one.

See attached document for a test case. It is difficult to list all combinations of possible configurations but it is easy to alter the configuration in the document by using the more elementary 'Move Up/Down' and 'Demote/Promote One Level' functions of the Bullets and Numbering toolbar.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the document
2. Place the cursor on one of the unnumbered/non-bulleted entries
3. Move the entries usint the buttons 'Move Dow/Up with Subpoints' or 'Demote/Promote One Level with Subpoints' from the Bullets and Numbering toolbar

Actual Results:
See description above.

Expected Results:
The simplest behavior would be that unnumbered/non-bulleted entries are treated the same way as numbered/non-bullted entries.
A more elaborated behavior would be to move the whole entry, including all the sublists or subpoints it contains.


Reproducible: Always

Dear Alex,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
