Description hawk17 2021-12-20 10:10:26 UTC
Description:
When creating a List like this:

1. Libre
2. Office
3. is
  - really
1. awesome!

and switching from "F12" (enumerated) to "Shift+F12" (Symbols), and after the Subitem switching back, the Enumeration starts again, instead of going on.

When changing the in that case "4" to a symbol and having already inserted the point "5", the "5" changes to a "4" as it should, like this:
1. Test            1. Test
2. Test     ---->  2. Test
3. a                  - a
4. b               3. b      

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make an enumerated List
2. after one number, change to a symbol
3. change back to number, it starts by "1" again

Actual Results:
A change to "symbol" enumeration resets the number to 1 again

Expected Results:
It should do nothing and the enumeration should continue 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Dear hawk17,

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
