Description R. Green 2020-01-31 21:44:06 UTC 
Created attachment 157570 [details]
Example Writer file

This is a major bug with no apparent workarounds.

1. Open the attached writer file.
2. Click somewhere in the text and open Paragraph Style "Numbering 1 cont.".
3. In "Tabs", set Position to 5 cm, say, click "New", then OK.
4. Re-open the same Paragraph Style dialog and in Tabs delete the tab that has just been created. Then OK.
5. Open the Paragraph Style dialog again.

EXPECTED RESULT: There should be no tabs visible.
ACTUAL RESULT: The tab is still there!

There appears to be nothing you can do to delete the tab once created.

There does appear to be a workaround of sorts. You have to create another tab first, then you can delete the original tab. The problem is that once the user has created one or more tabs in the Paragraph Style dialog, s/he is not allowed to delete the last tab remaining.

Looks like a duplicate of bug 127417, which was fixed recently. So please try with LO 6.4.0 or master.
