Description Daniel Benkmann 2010-02-10 16:04:22 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

Step 1: Open attached file insert_numbering_bug.odt. The file contains the
following numbered list:
  1. One
  2. Two
  3. Three
  4.

Step 2: Move cursor to "4."
Step 3: Use "Insert->File..." to insert the file insert_numbering_bug.odt.

The result is the following list:
  
  1. One
  2. Two
  3. Three
  4. One
  1. Two
  2. Three
  5. 

This is obviously not what you would expect. Especially the "5." at the end.

This problem only affects lists made with the toolbar buttons. If you number the
items by applying a list style, e.g. "Numbering 1" under the "List Styles"
category, then following the steps you describe works as expected.

This is because each list created by toolbar buttons is numbered distinctly,
whereas all lists using the same list style will be numbered as one sequence
unless the user manually restarts it.

You can see the two distinct lists in your result document if you click in the
page margin to the left of item 1: the labels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are highlighted;
the other two are not--they belong to a different list.

I believe the underlying situation here is covered by Issue 69459, which would
change the toolbar buttons to apply a named list style.

MRU->OD: Having a numbered list as described, and appending a file, which
consists of a list, to the list will create a new list inside the existing one.
