Comment 3 Dieter 2020-11-01 11:26:33 UTC
I confirm the described behaviour with

Version: 7.0.3.1 (x64)
Build ID: d7547858d014d4cf69878db179d326fc3483e082
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE
Calc: threaded

but I can't assess, if this is a bug or not. It's the first time I've seen those arrows and I couldn't find something in documentation about them, so I don't know what the expected result should be.
Comment 4 Kevin Suo 2020-11-07 08:42:49 UTC
I also reproduce on master build. In my opinion this is really a bug, as from a user's point of view when I hover over the heading number and the <--> sign appears then dragging the indent should of course move the paragraph where the heading is located, not where the cursor is located.
Comment 5 Kevin Suo 2020-11-07 08:44:28 UTC
Set importance to LOW TRIVIAL as this is a small issue.

Still present in

It seems to be related to chapter numbering and lists. But I don't know, how this feature should work. I also don't understand, why it is limited to numbered and bulletd paragraphs (if we consider this feature as useful). Heiko, can you give some informations?

Comment 8 Dieter 2022-11-08 07:22:03 UTC
Original reported behaviour is of course the expected behaviour from a technical side, because you change indent of the present paragraph (with cursor inside), but as this bug report shows, not from a user perspective. Since I don't see the usecase for this feature, I would remove it.
Comment 9 Heiko Tietze 2022-11-09 13:08:09 UTC
The arrows comes from the list style. If you create some items and make them an ordered or unordered list the cursor becomes this east-west symbol on hover. Using it seems to be another thing as effectively I can indent only headings.

Anyway, the feature clearly needs to be enabled only when the cursor is on the hovered spot.

Dear Telesto,

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
