Undo operation after automatically made numbered lists leaves the previous paragraph selected, which means you can not just continue to type on second line since it will erase the first selected paragraph. When you start the paragraph with "1." and then want to make a new paragraph with Enter button, the Writer automatically creates numbered list. Generally it is good feature, but some times you won't use it. In this case I press Ctrl-Z to undo the autolist and want to continue to type the text. But I can not, since after Undo the previous paragraph remains for some reason selected, so I need to use mouse or arrow buttons to deselect it. Those movements I regard as unnecessary, especially when you type quickly. I would expect after Undo to have just a new paragraph with the cursor at the beginning, how it would be when Writer wouldn't create a numbered list automatically. Please look an image attached with small explained screenshots.

thanks for your report Serhiy. I see the same in 3.4.1 on Linux and in a build from the master. So short: after an undo after an automatic lists starts, the cursor should stay on ints position, and the previous line must not be selected.
Reproduced on LibreOffice 3.4 340m1(Build:12) for OpenSuse Linux.
one in your area, Cedric?
Regression does appear in oldest version of bibisect-3.5.tar.lzma and must be older.
(should start working with bibisect too :-) - luckily I have some older versions hanging around) Bug not present in OOo 330m20 Nor in LO 3.3.0-3.4.5 It started from 3.4.0
1st class usability annoyance, IMHO

I tested this with LO 3.5.0 and it's not as here. When I press Undo the previous paragraph ISN'T selected. But anyway, the desired result is not achieved, because the cursor stays in the same line – so the problem remains, how do we go to the next line?

Hi Timur, (In reply to comment #9) > I tested this with LO 3.5.0 and it's not as here. thanks for your test and explanantion! On which OS do you have this?
I tested both on Win 7 64bit and beta Ubuntu 12.04 32bit.
(In reply to comment #12) > I tested both on Win 7 64bit and beta Ubuntu 12.04 32bit. OK, I tested on the same OS-ses, but 32 bits. Both with the same behaviour: cursor on the proper line, but previous one selected ..
this should affect all autoformat actions. OOo 3.4 regression from CWS undoapi fixed on master: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=f24153cded54954da7f0d80941707715c78e4627
