Description Dieter 2021-02-10 08:42:29 UTC 
Steps to reproduce

1. Open an new document
2. Press "Toggle Bulleted List" Button
3. Create a list of two or three paragraphs
4. Ctrl+A

Actual result:
First bullet doesn't seem to be included into the selection. But if you yount your words or if you copy and paste the list, you can see, that it is included.

Additional information
Bug report is a follow up from bug 61530
Might be related to bug 115851 (but that bug is about bullets in tables)

I wouldn't call this a bug. The bullet is not a character, it is the result of the paragraph having a list assigned to it.  The only reason the other bullets are "selected" is because they are between the first and last character selected.

From a user perspective I would expect that everything I select is visible as selection.

Justin made the same comment on bug 113314, and I agree. If you select the second item in a list and shift+left extend this selection it becomes clear that this character is a property of the paragraph. And to always select the full paragraph makes would be lose the desired functionality to replace the content of a list entry. => NAB
