Description Peter 2020-02-17 11:04:38 UTC 
Steps:
1. Launch Open Office Writer
2. Type a text.
3. Click on 'Decrease indent' from toolbar button.
Result:
The typed text is indented left out of the editor.
Expected Result:
Should not indent once the text is left most of the editor

Behavior reported on List in thread

Some history Lesson:
On right intend the argument has been that this can be handled by user. In the end, OpenOffice blocks not right indent at page size, but did not fix or test left indent.

OpenOffice should behave on both sides the same.

I can confirm behaviour in latest AOO version.

Nice finding!!!

For pure scientific joy I decreased indent 20 times and had
to increase it 17 times to see ending letters of my beloved text again.

Maybe we should coin new term "to go left" (like in "to go south")
to celebrate your finding. ;‑)
