Screencast showing the bug

Assume you want to have all future text boxes to have as default bullet list a red arrow as item

* Therefore you insert a Text Box using F2
* go to Format -> Bullet
* there you set an arrow and the color
* since you want it for all future text boxes, you check the button "Apply to Master" and as scope the slide (see the attached screencast)
* eventually click OK

result: the master content box got the desired style, but not the current text box. But OK, the aim was to have the change for all future text boxes. Therefore now again:

* insert a Text Box using F2
* turn on bulletting

result: you do not get a red arrow at item character

I have Windows 11

The text box is a graphic object. The formats set in the master slide are only responsible for the style of the presentation objects.

The text box uses the "Default Drawing Style" as default. You cannot set the Bullet&Numbering properties directly in that style, but you can update the style from a text box which has the desired settings to include them as default in "Default Drawing Style". Then the Bullet&Numbering dialog should have these settings on the next call or when toggling Bullet&Numbering on.

A request for making the bullet styles editable in styles, is tracked in bug 92170. Thus I set this as duplicate.
