Version: 4.3.2.2 rc
Comment 1 ign_christian 2014-09-24 16:59:12 UTC 
Reproducible under Ubuntu 12.04 with various versions between LO 3.3.0.4 - 4.3.2.2, also with AOO 4.1.1

Only occurred with steps as described, in 1st line numbered
Comment 2 krajcsi 2014-09-26 18:09:39 UTC 
What do you mean by 1st line numbering? You can't undo that only for the first time? Or only in the first line, but not the second line? For me the problem is quite general: line numbering cannot be undone in any situations, at least I haven't find yet a case where undo would work here.

It is still there.

I cannot tell if the bug is still there because there's a new bug: Following the steps in the first comment, in the third step, the line numbering does not appear.

Version: 7.2.2.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 02b2acce88a210515b4a5bb2e46cbfb63fe97d56

The same lack of line numbering can be observed here too:

Version: 7.2.2.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 20(Build:2)

Comment 13 Eyal Rozenberg 2022-12-16 13:42:20 UTC 
Bug still manifests with:

Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 360b5861fb46353e7a6b9f5abf13339cd719a8df
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.0; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US

... but not exactly just like krajcsi described: There are two inserted actions - which the user did not perform - when adding line numbers: A change in the Header PS and the footer PS. If I undo, one of those get undone, and if undo them both, then undo again, it's the typing of the last character. The introduction of Line Numbering cannot be undone.
