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.
Dear Eyal Rozenberg, 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.

The issue persists with a nightly from 4 days ago: Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 894563ee0e4032019623a97c313af3d833863b1f CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.6; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US ... but I can see that perhaps some users actually like the left-alignment of numbers on the right, so that the gap between the text area and the line numbering is a straight rectangle. So, I think I'm going to unconfirm this one and open a different bug about controlling line numbering alignment.
