Numbering copied despite not beeing selected

1. In LibreOffice Writer open new document.
2. Click on button Numbering On/Off. Note: Number "1." appears in first line.
3. In first line type in: This is test line number one.
4. Press ENTER.
5. Number "2." is displayed in second line. In second line type in: This is test line number two.
6. With mouse select "number two." and copy the text.
7. Paste the text to text editor e.g. Notepad.
And pasted text is: 2. number two.
You notice there is "2." pasted despite I didn't mark it for coping. I expect to be copied only the text I actually marked so "number two."

P.S. See attached print-screen (png file).

Just a note in step 2 if "Bullets On/Off" from toolbar is selected instead of "Numbering On/Off" then this problem does not appear. So it looks like a problem only with "Numbering On/Off".

I retested the problem in LibreOffice 3.6.4.3 and problem still persists. Very annoying bug.

Retested in LibreOffice 3.6.5.2 on Windows XP and problem still persists.

Hi. I tested this on Ubuntu Linux and Windows 8, using LibreOffice 4.0.0.3. I used gedit on Ubuntu, and Notepad and Notepad++ on Windows. I confirmed that even when you are copying just a single word on a numbered line, the number will be copied. One can also copy and paste text from line 1, line 2, and line 1 again, and obtain this:

1. line text number one
2. line text number two
1. line text number one

After some investigation, this bug is common with a lot of word processors when auto-numbering is on. The only way around it is to turn off the auto-numbering, copy/paste, and then turn it back on. I'm really not sure if this is fixable, in my opinion. It might even be intentional. I don't know. I will mark this as new.

Even though the architecture of this bug is x86 (IA32) it would appear to be a duplicate of FDO#49076 (currently marked as architecture x86-64).
