Created attachment 163742 [details] Writer doc showing a problem with numbering of paragraphs Version: 6.4.4.2 (x64) Build ID: 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded 1. Open the attached document and observe the two numbered lists on page 1, labelled "Contents 1" and "Contents 2". 2. CONTENTS 1 was created by selecting 5 paragraphs (style = "Contents 4") and applying "Numbering 123" DIRECTLY from the "List styles" tab. 3. Contents 2 was created by selecting 5 paragraphs (style = "Contents 3") and linking "Numbering 123" via "Paragraph style > Outline and Numbering > Numbering". EXPECTED RESULT: Both lists should have EXACTLY the same appearance because all the properties have EXACTLY the same values. In both cases the settings in "List style > Position" should overrule the Indent settings for the paragraph. ACTUAL RESULT: The list under "Contents 1" (where the numbering style was applied from the "List styles" tab) has the CORRECT text indentation. However, the list under Contents 2 (where the numbering style is linked via the "Outline and Numbering" tab of the paragraph style) has the wrong indentation. It seems that in the second case, the "Tab stop" (from List style > Position) is correct, but the "Indent" property (from List style > Position) is being ignored.
In other words: CORRECT BEHAVIOUR When the numbering style is applied from the "List styles" tab (by double-clicking), the "Numbering style > Position> Position and Spacing" properties control the indents of the paragraph, and the "Paragraph style > Indent and spacing > Indent" properties become disabled—AS EXPECTED. BUGGY BEHAVIOUR When the numbering style is linked to the paragraph via "Paragraph style > Outline and Numbering > Numbering", the "Paragraph style > Indent and spacing > Indent" properties SHOULD be disabled, BUT AREN'T. The result is that the Indent settings in the "Numbering style" dialogue are not being applied correctly, but are interacting in some way with the Paragraph style indents. UNEXPECTED.
I'm going to close this and re-open in a different, and easier to understand form …
