The "increase / decrease indent" works only for non-heading styled paragraphs. If used with a heading style (whether builtin Heading1-Heading10, or user defined with "outline numbering"), the buttons instead cause a change in the style of the paragraph, e.g. applying increase-indent-button to Heading1 changes the style to Heading2! WTF?
@Steve : could you provide us please with a minimal document with instructions how to reproduce this problem ? Also please state OSX version and whether you are using LibreOffice from AppStore or from the TDF download page, thanks.
1) open new document. 2) insert several lines/paragraphs. 3) format one of them as a heading/outline style. 4) try to use increase/decrease indent buttons. Instead of changing the indent, the style is changed to a different heading style.
OSX 10.10.5 Libre Office from download page.
I can reproduce this also using the Tab key to indent, however, only with Header2 style and downwards, i.e. from H2 to H10. Version: 5.0.0.5 Build ID: 1b1a90865e348b492231e1c451437d7a15bb262b Locale : fr-FR (fr.UTF-8) OSX 10.10.5 Doesn't seem like normal behaviour to me.
More importantly, the indent action doesn't actually produce an indent in some cases, it just changes the Header style, i.e. tabulations are not inserted.

Behavior still there in Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 425af6845ebe066c950b0b63f50563e067485f3e CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-10-09_23:30:22 But I doubt this is a bug and it's an intended behavior. Then this bug report is an enhancement request. But adding needsUXEval to discuss that.

WTF? What WTF... behavior is as old as Methuselah :p And using Tab for changing indent on headings is direct formatting. Two reasons for me to not support this request. I would say WFM. Cheers - Cor
We talked about this topic in the design meeting and came to the conclusion of WORKSFORME. The decision takes into account that we want to support the use of styles rather than direct formatting, the familiar and well-known behavior, and the fact that lists are working similarly (tab increases the level).
I'm experimenting and having a problem much like that described by Alex Thurgood in comment #4. Sometimes the tab key changes the heading level, other times it indents the text. Furthermore, when it indents it changes the style rather than adding a tab stop or direct formatting, as well as (!) other heading styles. Even this can be inconsistent - it sometimes doesn't happen if you have modified the heading styles from their defaults. Clearly something weird is going on. However, I don't think the difference is the heading level, but rather, the position in the document. For me, the strange behavior of the tab key does not occur for the first instance of a heading style paragraph, regardless of which it is.
Correction to the last statement of the above. The changes to the paragraph style occur *only* when pressing the tab key at the beginning of the first instance of a heading style paragraph. For other paragraphs, the key behaves like the toolbar button.
I've submitted a new bug, Bug 120917.
