outline numbering example

Cannot change position and spacing parameters of outline (heading) numbering through Tools - Outline numbering dialogue.

Steps to repeat:
1. Open attached file
2. Click on Tools - Outline numbering
3. Select Position tab.
4. Change Aligned at: or any other numeric value to something else.
5. Click ok.
6. Click one more time on Tools - Outline numbering.
7. No changes appears in the default values (as well as in the document).

Normal behaviour - changed parameters affects position of numbering and changes persists in Outline numbering dialogue.

Still there in 5.1.1.3, Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit
Comment 2 Buovjaga 2016-03-13 19:34:21 UTC
Change styles - List styles - Numbering 1. Then select all the numbering lines and double click the style Numbering 1. It applies.
Comment 3 andis.lazdins 2016-03-13 19:59:00 UTC
Thank you for recommendation!

Outline numbering can be changed also through Format > Bullets and Numbering... > Outline / Position / Options, but it was possible also through Tools > Outline numbering dialogue in previous versions.

I guess it is some kind of regressions / mistakes

The easiest way would be to remove Outline numbering... from Tools to avoid confusing situations.

The issue is still replicable in 5.1.2.2

Hi,

This file is created with LibreOffice 5.1.1.2.
Opening in any version of LibreOffice that I have, one can't set the Alignment of the Outline numbering via the dialog. 
Now it must be done at paragraph (Style) level.
It has always be the other way round. From what I remember, that was expected.

Have to do more testing on how indent (paragraph) and alignment (heading or list style) combine..

The problem is inside the file. It has a setting of left-margin="0cm" in the style. Go to the tab 'Indents & Spacing' of the paragraph style and click on button "Standard" to remove the settings. You might need to remove direct formatting too.

The behavior corresponds to the section 17.20<style:list-level-label-alignment> in the spec, where you read in the forth sentence,
"The fo:text-indent and fo:margin-left attributes are evaluated only for paragraphs inside list items whose paragraph styles do not specify them. If one of the two properties, or both, are specified by the paragraph style, the text indent and/or left margin are taken from the paragraph style. In this case the paragraph style's properties are used to determine the indent and margin for the text lines and thus also the alignment position."

After you remove the values, the settings of the Outline-Numbering-dialog will be mirrored to the paragraph style.

The entire handling is strange. So I will keep it as "New" and add it to the meta bug

Dear andis.lazdins,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
