Without list in paragraph, the border isn't shifted at left or at right, it begins at the border of the page at right AND at left sides, even if the text is too short to reach the right side of the page. With a list in paragraph, why border is shifted at left? (and not at right) It should not be shifted at left, as it isn't shifted at right.

And it's not limited to List. "Increase Indent (for example) also shifts paragraph drawn border to the right. But I think it's a feature, not a bug. the drawn box around the paragraph correctly shows the limits around the paragraph @reporter: a) please contribute a reference to typographic rules which underpin your opinion that the current behavior is wrong.
If it was a feature, right border should be shifted too when line is smaller than page width. But it isn't. So why only left border ? It's illogical. It's a bug and the display is awful.
It's border of a paragraph, not border of text.

The paragraphs of the list items in your example likely have a margin. I assume, that you want a look similar to the list in my attachment. It is made with the old kind of list (as used in Draw/Impress). Such determines the bullet position without using a margin. Unfortunately Writer has no UI to generate these kind of lists, although if such list exists, the UI of its style switches to the old kind. But I think instead fiddling around with paragraph borders and kind of lists, you should put the part for which you want a border and a fill into a frame and use the border and fill of the frame instead of the border and fill of paragraphs.

Created attachment 177566 [details] Borders at right and at left In this attachment, you can see that border is near text at left, not at right? Why? It's not logical. The good solution would be to have border with section, indeed. I never used section, I will try, thank you.
It sounds like this can be closed.
