Description Alexandre Monobe 2014-08-26 15:08:52 UTC
When you start a numbering with Roman counting (I, II, III and so on) when the numbering reaches VII or VIII the spacing gets out of the default used to the rest of the topics.

it seems the issue is not limited to roman numbers.
see Bug 87848 and decide if it's a dupe.

Bug 87848's attachment 111494 [details] shows it happening with non-roman numbering.

I tried this with LO 3.3, and that one positions the lines with a tab for 1-9, and a space for 10-99, which results in good alignment. Starting with 100, however, the alignment is wrong.

With 5.0.3 we are back to the behavior of 3.x, which is much better than 4.x, but still not perfect.

Hello, just to confirm that this BUG still persists on LibreOffice 5.4.2.1

My system is:

OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64 (Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.13.10-1-MANJARO)


Peace.

As the numbers get wider, they will take up more space, which will push the following text farther away and there isnt much that can be done. Alex: what do you think should happen?

Heiko, Stuart: thoughts?
Comment 16 Heiko Tietze 2017-11-03 16:28:30 UTC
Would cover for longer numbers since the problem also exists with alphanumeric values >99. In that case, using default settings, tabstop at 1.5cm is enough. But to also have a good alignment with the first 20 roman numbers my take is 1.8cm.

I expect consistency.

In this case the MS Word choice seems much better: the text always start at the same point, if the numbering is too big it only affects the numbering starting point.

Let's see if I can illustrate:

LibreOffice way:

I. asd
XXXI.         aasd

MS Office way:

     I. ASD
  XXXI. ASD

> How about aligning everything to the longest number?

That needs code. 

Alexandre's idea sounds good though I'm not sure that MS right aligns the numbers.

You will never have consistency for all scenarios when the numbering characters keep increasing.

Right alignment of roman lists are being implemented in bug 106988.

As expected, repro LO 6.5+.
This bug in essence is a duplicate of bug 56258.
Even if this one started for roman numbering, regardless, same issue.
