Reproduction instructions: 1. Create a new Writer document 2. Insert at least 10 lines of text (to see line numbers with two digits) 3. On the menu, in Tools | Options, enable Line Numbering with an interval of 1 and placement on the right. Expected Result: The line numbers appear aligned on the right edge of their rightmost digit, like they are when placed Left: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Actual result: The line numbers appear aligned on the left edge of their leftmost digit. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Now, if we could control the alignment ourselves (see also bug 152537), then this would not have been such a big deal - only a poor choice of default IMNSHO. But we can't do that
Not a new effect, already reproducible with Version 4.0.0.3 (Build ID: 7545bee9c2a0782548772a21bc84a9dcc583b89)
a) Already visible in OOo 3.2.0 b) No Obvious DUPs found with query <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&remaction=run&namedcmd=DUPs152552&sharer_id=19321> c) Bug or Feature? SoftMaker 'TextMaker' does it the same way. Line numbers at the right are left aligned. But I can't see any sense in that formatting.
Hello, I am new here and this is my first comment! I reproduced your instructions. And this is what is happen : All the line are numbered in the right but the line numbers appear aligned on the left edge of their leftmost digit. I use a PC with Window 10 - Libre Office Dev 7 in frensh. In this article, the alignment of number in tables recommends to coordinate the alignment of numbers, aligned right when right and aligned left when left : https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/117685/in-tables-should-date-time-year-in-table-be-left-or-right-aligned Maybe, it is the best practice also in a text.
(In reply to Sophie Sipasseuth from comment #3) > https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/117685/in-tables-should-date-time- > year-in-table-be-left-or-right-aligned > > Maybe, it is the best practice also in a text. I the question you linked to, the question regards dates the width of each of them is fixed; and where to place them within a column. This bug is about the alignment of different-width numbers relative to each other: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 vs. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 the bottom is what we need, the top is what we have.
