Description: The renumbering option for numbered lists in LO writer is completely broken. If I want to continue a list and pick up where I left off, I cannot restart a list and change the number start to anything but ONE (1). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a list. 2. Type some non-list text (paragraph) 3. Restart list and choose a continuing number other than one (1). Actual Results: The new, restarted list is always at one (1) Expected Results: The newly started list should start at whatever number the user chooses. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: TextDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Linux (All) OS is 64bit: yes
It seems to work if you insert a NEW list with your numbering customizations. Steps: 1. Use F12 to start new list 2. Enter text (for one list item) 3. Press Enter twice 4. Enter text (for paragraph) 5. Press Enter 6. Go to Format > Bullets & Numbering 7. Under Customize tab, change "Start at" number to 2 (or any number other than 1) 8. Click OK Results: 2nd list inserted has the starting number set at a number other than 1. On the other hand, if you are changing the numbering of an EXISTING list, it does NOT work. Steps: 1. Use F12 to start new list 2. Enter text (for one list item) 3. Press Enter twice 4. Enter text (for paragraph) 5. Press Enter 6. Use F12 to start a 2nd list 7. Go to Format > Bullets & Numbering 8. Under Customize tab, change "Start at" number to 2 (or any number other than 1) 9. Click OK Results: Existing 2nd list is not updated with starting number changed in bullet customizations. Starting number remains at 1. I think the second scenario is more or less the same as Bug 154864. --------------------- Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 36163d269bd8f77a86605e4c5ff5adce17b4c66c CPU threads: 6; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded
No comment from reporter, so let's close as duplicate. Thanks, Kira! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 154864 ***
The bug is still there. Starting a NEW list and choosing a different number doesn't work. Using the Flatpak version of LibreOffice.

Actually, the behaviour of LO has changed. You are correct with your instructions, BUT one used to be able to insert a new list AND then change the numbering. This is now not the case. If this is the intended behaviour, please close this and INVALID.

Now, please no more changes to the status. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 154864 ***
