Created attachment 81882 [details]
Simple text with bulleted paragraphs and a named style.

When a paragraphs is bulleted with an "image" bullet, one cannot apply a named style having for example indents, especially, but not only, right indent.

See attached example.

Steps to reproduce:

- create a paragraph style with indenting, for example 5cm to the left, 5cm to the right. I called this style "Paragraph with reduced width".

- type a few paragraphs of text.

- add a bullet to some of the paragraph (menu Format / Bullets and numbering), and use one of those bullets from the "Image" tab.

- try to apply the "Paragraph with reduced width" style: 
    - on unbulleted paragraphs it works as expected, the paragraph will resize according to the indents
    - on bulleted paragraphs nothings happens, the indenting is not applied.

- when moving the paragraph's indent anchors (on the tabs bar) the indents are now applied to this paragraph. If I move for example the right indent anchor, it applies and the left indent (defined by the named style) also suddenly applies. If I double click the named style (from the styles popup window) it goes back to the unindented state, even if the styles defines indentation.

I upgraded to 4.1.1

I am now trying to do such an everyday's task to define the style of a numbered paragraph and the behavior is just nonsense after nonsense.

What I want to do:
 - put a number on the paragraph style
 - indent it such as the number is on the left and the text slightly espaced from the number.

Such as:

v
     ^


1.   Bla blah blah ... ... ... ...
     same paragraph blah blah blah

2.   Second paragraph ....

It seems to be not possible using styles.

The indenting will totally ignore the indenting at the tabs bar, plus depending on how I apply the same style it will be one way or another.

I get:

v
     ^
1. Bad indentation as it doesn't respect the paragraph left position blah...
   xxx xxxx xxxxx xxxx

2. Next paragraph with the same style but indented differently xxx
     xxx xxxx xxx xxx

I will give up and indent my paragraphs one by one without any usage of named styles, as it is 100% non functional.
