Yes, that's an old problem inherited from OOo, see Sample document Unfortunately I never had a good Idea how that problem can be solved. I thought we should already have a bug for that, but I was not able to find it.
Created attachment 68898 [details] Sample Document The sample document shows the different distances between numbering and content when you open it with 3.5
for me not reproducible with LO 4.0.1.2 (Win7 Home, 64bit) Does this issue still persist for you with the latest release of LO?
Confirmed with: LO 4.0.2.2 Build ID: own W7 debug build Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit Could not reproduce with two digits, but reproducible with three digits.

As I understand it's NOT a bug, this is correct behavior. MS Word does the same. The formatting is dependent on font type, font size, another paragraph settings. On "10" line default tab stop is too small. Therefore it's necessary to make first tab longer. To fix this formatting issue user makes usually first custom tab stop at the appropriate position. After that text in number list started from the same position. This works in MS Word, but unfortunately it's not working in LibreOffice because of that bug ( https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94028 ). LO could by default create first custom tab stop automatically, that would fix this issue. But here we will have another problem. If the listing contained 8 lines, the tab position was one width. After a while another 3 lines were added, then automatically tab position need to be expanded. This potentially could break formatting of previous lines. IMHO, user should make decision about width of first tab.

bug still present in LibO 5.2.4.2
Bug also present in 5.3.0.3 (on Manjaro 64-bit).
IMO, the problem here is not a bug, but a poor default choice. By default, lists have two tab stops, the first one to indicate number position and alignment and the second one to indicate first line indent for text. The first tab for numbers is aligned "to the left" and that means that when the number is wider than the space left by the indent tab the text get pushed to the right. The easiest solution to this problem is to change the alignment for the number's tab stop to be aligned to the right, so instead of 9. Text 10. Text which is the current default behaviour, you get a nicer list like 9. Text 10. Text which is the default behaviour of lists in LaTeX. So maybe this bug report could be changed into a feature request to change the default value for numbering alignment on lists.

Let's ask UX.
(In reply to RGB from comment #13) > IMO, the problem here is not a bug, but a poor default choice. Some work has been done regarding default list styles in bug 106988. But the issue here will not finally be solved by any style. Think about roman numbering like MMXVII that quickly exceeds the first tab width. The only solution is the dynamically adjust the tabs, which requires a format change (for consistency). Nonetheless we should take care about this issue when defining new default styles in order to make them work in the usual environment for 1..99.

*** Bug 141740 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Any comments/duplicates prior to Nov 2017/LO 6.0 are basically irrelevant. The defaults were changed with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/37742. This TOTALLY depends on the font chosen. In general, it seems like LO and MS Word are using the same hard-coded values. For example, using 12pt Times New Roman/Liberation and ABC numbering, the tab pushes AA out to the next level in both programs, but simply changing the font to Calibri/Carlito allows double-character numbering to line up with single-character. Both LO and MS handle 123 numbering up to 99 - with 100 pushing to the next tabstop. Microsoft doesn't seem to define special tabstops for numbering. They just use their default tabstop of 1.27 (half an inch) for everything, and start with a hanging indent of -.63, jumping half an inch for each sublevel. LO defaults to 1.25cm tabs, but 1.27 tabs for numbering, and increment by .7 each sublevel. So while MS jumps by 1.27 each time, we jump by nearly half that much. Having tighter numbering doesn't seem too bad - although not lining up with our tabstops becomes the biggest downside. So it seems like the only "problem" remaining is with roman-numeral-numbering. Now the "Numbering IVX" style almost fine - it has an enlarged range and is right-aligned. (It just has a oddball level 3). So it is simply the bullet and numbering wizard's roman-numeral-numbering [or the (number) once getting up to 10] because they are all just using the standard 0.63 / 0.7 tabs instead of the enlarged indents used by the style. However, the wizard (cui/source/tabpages/numpages.cxx) is "interesting". I mean, it is only changing minor things, but using it WILL modify the style if a style was applied. The things that are changed are found in the struct SvxNumSettings_Impl, and tabs/indents/alignment are not included - just prefix/suffix and numbering type basically. Adding (optional) tab/indenting to that struct would not be easy. It ties in with abstract locale stuff, getting the contents from i18npool/source/localedata/localedata.cxx. I assume the list of "choices" seen depends on the UI language. I tried "if SVX_NUM_ROMAN_*, then SetNumAdjust(SvxAdjust::Right)", but that often doesn't look good either, and switching to something else wouldn't undo that. So that is a bad hack attempt. Since this is all so dependent on font/size, any attempt to improve this probably needs to based on a mathematical formula, with the locale-data adding an alignment option for left/right/center. Actually, we need two (or three) mathematical forumulas to handle left and right differently.

So the styles should be nice now I think. I also have some patches that explore using the default tabstop as a mathematical way to calculate appropriate indent levels for these styles. The default tabstop is defined as 1.25cm in writer.xcs. (or 1.27 for non-metric locales and something tiny for Chinese). There are two situations that I'm still investigating. One is Format - Bullets and Numbering. That is cui/source/tabpages/numpages.cxx's single/outline NumSelectHdl_impl. This simply changes the numbering type and suffix/prefix. The other situation is the toolbar's uno:SetNumber which does most of the work in NumberingTypeManager::ApplyNumRule. The interesting thing is that both of these almost connect in txtnum.cxx, but the implementations diverge widely. If any of this is shared with Draw/Impress, I don't see where.
Outline Numbering can define the indent/tabstop positions. The formatting toolbar's "outline format" (which is disabled by default) makes changes to all defined levels - changing the numbering type and indenting. [However, it ignores the level indent information in the locale definitions and just uses the SvxNumRule::SvxNumRule constructor default of 1/4 inch increments.] The US English definitions for these 8 outlines only defines the first 5 levels. i18npool/source/localedata/data/en_US.xml - <LC_OutLineNumberingLevel> The single "ordered" numbering only defines/effects NumType, Prefix, and Suffix. <LC_NumberingLevel>. It only changes the level that the cursor is on (unless there is no numbering yet - then it defines all levels identically).

A potential improvement still possible is to have the toolbar and the dialog consolidate their code. (There are two main code paths that let the user change the bullet/numbering type of their list. One is the toolbar/sidebar's grid of 8 choices which calls .uno:Set{Number,Outline,Bullet}. The other path is via the Bullets and Numbering dialog, which has 3 tabs containing the same grid choices.) These two code paths widely diverge on the way that they apply the selected numbering to an existing list. I explored merging these two, but decided not to because end users have likely developed workflows that work best for them, and some will prefer one way while others would prefer the other way. My sample implementation to return locale index from bullets&Numbering dialog can be seen at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/144881
(In reply to Justin L from comment #27) > I also have some patches that explore using the default tabstop as a > mathematical way to calculate appropriate indent levels for these styles. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/144842 https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/144843 https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/144844
I am going to mark this as finished. In my opinion, there has been significant improvement to outline numbering with these changes. I realize that many things here are very much driven by a particular user's perspective or specific document's characteristics and that there isn't necessarily a right or wrong implementation. I have tried very hard to limit myself to only tinker with things that are fairly clearly wrong or non-optimal. Although perhaps the most dangerous, I think the greatest asset is having the outline button visible on the toolbar by default. It makes each locale's outline choices very accessible. (I consider it dangerous because it might not match user expectations of what it does - since it is fundamentally different from the other bullet/numbering buttons. But UNDO works fine, so the user is easily saved from self-created disaster.)

The choice "(1)" is a problematic suggestion because when you get to (10) for Liberation 11pt (and LibreOffice's default is 12pt, so even worse) there isn't enough space for the numbering and thus the content gets pushed out one tabstop. I thought perhaps just eliminating that choice might be a reasonable "solution". https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/159326 But "MLA and Chicago Style and US GPO manuals both call out use of "round brackets" parenthesis for outline level sequences" so abandoned.
