Using the 4.4.0.3 release version of Libre Office Writer, it appears that the program can't properly track the numbered lists whether the numbering consist in actual numbers or letters. This results in un-proper numbering. Steps to reproduce : - Create a new document - Make 5 lines - Select the first and last line to create a numbered list. The two lines are now numbered, but it appears that the numbering restarts at each line (eg. '1.' and '1.'). - Select the lines 2,3,4. - Create a bullet list - Select line 5. Right-click and try to "Continue previous numbering". - Instead of the expected outcome (line 5 being next in the numbered list, eg. '2.'), the last line will become and item of the bullet list, as if the program "forgot" that it was referring from the last seen numbered list and just applying the rule whatever last list is present within the text. One can also notice that if there's no list between the two items we want as a numbered list, then the "Continue previous numbering" is actually working as it should. Screencasting of the problem : http://dl.free.fr/pLA8brj6O System specs are : Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64bits Linux PHARXTI 3.17.0 #2 SMP Fri Jan 16 01:35:04 CET 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux LO was downloaded from : http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/4.4.0/deb/x86_64/LibreOffice_4.4.0_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz After having encountered the problem, I removed 4.4.0.3, reinstalled 4.3.0.4, and deleted ~/.config/libreoffice, reproduced the same steps and the problem was still there. Thanks for your support.
I first noticed the problem while working on titles. I believed that if I was to apply the same style on two lines, and that the first line to which the style has been applied was part of a numbered list, the second line would immediately become an item of the said list upon being applied the same style as the first one. Wasn't this feature, kind of "automated track of numbering depending on the applied style" already present in LO? If not, I'm wondering if it could be considered?
I tested this behaviour on Windows 8.1 64 bits and it is present in the Windows version as well.
Reproduced. Win 7 Pro 64-bit, LibO Version: 4.4.0.3 Build ID: de093506bcdc5fafd9023ee680b8c60e3e0645d7 Locale: fi_FI
Could not reproduce. I selected lines 1 and 5 and applied numbering to them. They were numbered 1 and 2. As to the "Continue previous numbering", it will apply whatever the last numbering was, whether that was numbering or bullets. You can try this with a new text document and only apply bullets to the first few lines and "Continue previous numbering" on the last line. The result is a bullet.
