My suspec: has nothing to do with Arabic numbers and similar, but with TAB and Number width and the different width of "-" and ".".

@abdulmajeed
Please attach a WRITER sample document.
Really only with 3.6.0alpha1?

Sample with corrected indents

@abdulmajeed
Your problem is not caused by a LibO WRITER bug, but by inexpedient indents. In my "Sample with corrected indents" I modified paragraph settings, no it should be no problem to modify the separator from "." to "-".

The question is why the indents are inexpedient. Did you use a template, default numbering settings or similar? May be we have to modify our default templates?

Latin numbering (default template, default fonts, ubuntu 12.04)

Looks like the default template needs a modification.
Comment 7 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-06-05 03:00:21 UTC 
I think that needs some intensive rework, I remember that I also had similar problems with multi level numberings in German language. I'm afraid it will be not easy to find a good solution being useful for all different languagges / Localizations.
