Description Jim Avera 2021-04-26 05:39:26 UTC
Description:
This may be (probably is) operator error.

In Bullets and Numbering, the "Indent at:" setting under 'Position' seems to be ignored, and subsequent lines in a numbered or bulleted paragraph have zero indent.

Please see the attached "demo.odt" which has "Indent at" set to 1.40" but there is zero indent displayed.  This was copied from another document which has this problem -- I do not know the exact sequence to reproduce it from scratch.

New lists created from scratch do not have this issue

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached demo.odt
2. Click in a bulleted paragraph 
3. Format->Bullets and Numbering...   Position Tab

Actual Results:
Indent at: is set to 1.40" but subsequent lines after the first have zero indent, no matter what Indent at is set to.

For reference, the documentation for this says:

"Indent at

Enter the distance from the left page margin to the start of all lines in the numbered paragraph that follow the first line."

which is correct for newly-created numbered paragraphs, but not this one from an older document. 

Expected Results:
.


Reproducible: Always

The paragraphs in the document have direct formatting applied atop of the list settings, which override paragraph's indents. Selecting it, and clearing direct formatting (Ctrl+M), restores the setting from the list. As direct formatting takes precedence over other formatting (consider manually changing paragraph indents by dragging handles on top ruler), this works as intended => NOTABUG.
