Description thomas430 2009-12-02 09:26:24 UTC 
When multiple (separate) chunks of text are highlighted, if either of the indent
buttons is used, all selected lines will be indented apart from the highest most
highlighted chunk.

In the highest most highlighted chunk of text, only the top line is indented
back or forward.

To repeat this behaviour:
1) open a writer document, and copy-paste 30 or so of a short sentence like
"g'day there".

2) highlight 3 lines at the bottom, then hold Ctrl and highlight another 3 lines
up higher than the original selection (make sure there are unselected lines in
between)

3) you may like to highlight one more isolated section.. it doesn't matter

4) press either the indent back or forward button

5) in the highest most selected block, you should notice that only the top line
has been indented.

Can confirm this with OOo 3.1.1 and 3.2 on Windows.
It is essential that the selection is made from bottom to the top. 
Create a document with e.g. 8 paragraphs. Select the bottom 3 paras and then
with Ctrl additionally the first three para's. Click decrease/increase indent
button -> from the upper selection only the first paragraph is taken into
account for applying the attribute.
