Description: In the latest OpenOffice, the selections under Format / Bullets and Numbering are all solid options. But what if you want to print out a to-do list and then give it to an employee to check off? There used to be a box outline to do this, but it has been replaced by a solid box. That is not a good idea. Bring back the empty box! Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a document 2. select format / bullets 3. look in vain for an empty box Actual Results: As stated above Expected Results: The empty box you used to have. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: This is a regression.

I've checked back to LO 5.4.7, but couldn't find it. So perhaps indeed an enhancement request and not a regression. I support the idea, although an empty box for a checklist is something different than a bullet. cc: Desing-Team for further input
I can't honestly say when I last used the check box, or where, so enhancement it is. You are right, checkbox and bullet list are different. Presumably one could type in something into a real checkbox, but I never used mine for anything other than checking off on a paper copy. I'd be happy with just an empty square.
See no need for this. Default bullets for the GUI are drawn from OpenSymbol font. Though we do need a little tweak there to move some PUA glyphs onto their correct Unicode point: E00C -> U+25C6 BLACK DIAMOND E00A -> U+25A0 BLACK SQUARE And helpful would be the addition of a OpenSymbol appropriate glyph for U+2610 BALLOT BOX Otherwise, U+25CB WHITE CIRCLE is available to assign as a bullet via the customize. While any of: U+25A1 WHITE SQUARE - □ U+274F LOWER RIGHT DROP-SHADOWED WHITE SQUARE - ❏ U+2750 UPPER RIGHT DROP-SHADOWED WHITE SQUARE - ❐ U+2751 LOWER RIGHT SHADOWED WHITE SQUARE - ❑ U+2752 UPPER RIGHT SHADOWED WHITE SQUARE - ❒ Are available from the OpenSymbol font to assign to a bullet listing--though the customization allows a selection from any font to be used as a bullet. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 108697 ***
