screencat showing the bug

I have a list and turned on bullets.

The second item should get level 2, so in the properties dialog I promote the item to that level.

As result I don't get what I want (see bug 170492), but I get at least some indentation.

Now one might think: "let's jast add some indentation using teh properties dialog:
* press the spin button to increase the indentation from zero

result: you get 0.49 mm indentation (a strange value btw.) but on screen you get more than 1 cm more space

Therefore
* press the lower spin button to get 0 mm indentation

result: you don't get the initial indentation

Now i thought I am clever and
* press the button to increase the indentation (see the attached screencast)

result: everything is completely broken (font, font size)

I also tried to reinstall LO, cleaned the registry after deinstallation.

workaround

Wow, I accidentally found a workaround:

* before one does any action in an itemized list one must press the button to decrease the indentation, despite it is initially zero

result: one get the list as set up. So this is also the workaround for bug 170492

* now can can press the button to increase the indentation and the list does not get broken.
