Description: Bullet of a list with an /empty leading paragraph/ is not rendered Steps to Reproduce: Open the attached `list-table.odt`. I expect to see a first level bullet (but with an "empty" paragraph) for the second list. But I am not. When you examine the XML for the two lists, the only difference is that the first one has a "leading" paragraph and the second one has none. Otherwise they have the same structure. Actual Results: (see 'steps to reproduce') Expected Results: (see 'steps to reproduce') Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Note: I am not a 'user' but a developer. I am not asking for how to achieve a desired typesetting, instead I am questioning why LibreOffice is typesetting the list in along counter-intuitive and unexpected lines. What does the OpenDocument standard say about rendering this particular list.

To investigate the problem, do not use bullets but numbers with different kind on each level, e.g. A, B, C for level 1 and 1, 2, 3 for level 2. The second group of paragraphs is a two level list too, but you do not see it, because 1. There exists no level 1 paragraphs 2. The level 2 sub-lists have set attribute text:continue-numbering="true". You cannot see a first level bullet in the second list, because there exists no paragraph, which could carry this bullet. If you want the usual behavior of nested lists, you should configure the producer of the document to write text:continue-numbering="false" as default on all lists. The error in LibreOffice is, that the numbering is _not_ continued in the upper list. The relevant part of the ODF 1.2 spec is: <quote> 19.781text:continue-numbering The text:continue-numbering attribute specifies, if the numbering of the preceding list is continued or not. This attribute is ignored, if attribute text:continue-list 19.780 is present. The defined values for the text:continue-numbering attribute are: ●true: if text:continue-list attribute is not present and the numbering style of the preceding list is the same as the current list, the number of the first list item in the current list is the number of the last item in the preceding list incremented by one. ●false: if the text:continue-list attribute is not present, the numbering of the preceding list is not continued. </quote>
Dear Jambunathan K, 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 Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
