Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 52888
List style numbering is not visible if combining it with paragraph style
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:42:16 UTC
I combined a list style with a paragraph style and applied the paragraph style to several paragraphs. But the numbering is not visible. After saving, closing and reopening you can see the numbering. I can reproduce this effect only with m122 WinXP. m118, m122 Linux and m118 WinXP are ok.
MRU->HBRINKM: assign e.g. list style "Numbering 1" to para style "Text body". Then assign "text body" to document and type some paragraphs -> no numbering will be applied to the text, though it is assigned tin the paragraph format.
fixed in swnumtree

Just wanted to add that I was also able to reproduce this issue on Suse 9.3, m122 with german language pack. Question: hbrinkm wrote on August, 10th that this defect is fixed. Which build will profit from the fix?
please use http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/servlet/cws.ShowCWS?Id=2726&Path=SRC680%2Fswnumtree to track when the child workspace is going to get integrated. You will see that the milestone is not yet determined, but you can expect a date which is mentioned there.

Just a comment, This is an ESSENTIAL feature of the OOo styles system. A lot of documents with heavy use of bulleted/numbered are now almost un-editable: You cannot see teh numbering applied to a paragraph. How such an important feature can be delayed to 2.0.1??? Even more if it is reportedly FIXED Enrique

Please see my thread in the Writer Forum at http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=26353 I think my problem is related to this issue. I'm running 2.0 on WinXP.

Why is this marked CLOSED? This problem certainly occurs in 3.1.1 and 3.2.
This issue is fixed. If you combine a list style and a paragraph style, the list is visible immediately after applying the style. Checked this again with OOo 3.2.0, Win 7. If there is a problem, please file a new issue.
AFAICS that's simply not true (just tried it again). You can associate a hierarchical Paragraph style with a List style, but only the top level (Level 1) numbering style is honored. For all other levels, the Level 1 numbering style is applied, regardless of the outline level of the paragraph. The only place where this works is with the built-in styles "Heading 1".."Heading 10", which are associated with the built-in "Outline Numbering" (under Tools menu). If you have an example of any other Paragraph style associated with any List style which properly inherits the list numbering styles for *all* levels, would you please point me to it? Thanks.
MRU->jkaufmann: this seems to be a different problem. First, please discuss this with others on users@openoffice.org. If you really discovered a bug, please submit a new issue and attach a sample document. Thanks for your patience.
Sorry to persist, but before I: (a) raise a thread on the users list (where I might be referred here), or (b) file a new bug report, would you please explain why this long-known issue of associating a user-defined Paragraph style with a user-defined List style, that I just described (above), is "a different problem"? It certainly sounds like exactly the problem defined for this bug, as well as described in Issue 54386 (CLOSED: DUPLICATE), Issue 54569 (CLOSED: DUPLICATE), and Issue 56848 (CLOSED: DUPLICATE). Is it really helpful to have so many open/closed Issues filed on the same problem, rather than addressing it in the referent Issue? Did each of those earlier (CLOSED: DUPLICATE) bug reports get us any closer to resolution? - or did they sap some small but non-zero amount of energy from the problem? I'm hardly alone in observing that this remains unresolved. See, for example, Writer forum topic 26908 of 27~30.January <http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26908>.
MRU->jkaufmann: This issue here is a general problem; it has been fixed and still works. You are the only one to experience this in your environment. I have checked this with built-in styles (associated "Numbering 1" list style to "Text body" para style - and the paragraph was nicely numbered; I created a new para style and associated a self-made list style to it - the paragraph was nicely numbered, either). So it points to the fact, that you discovered a special case for which you should discuss this on the mailing list / newsgroup or file a new issue for which you should attach your sample document for two reasons: - as I mentioned, this issue is general and your problem seems to be a special one - old issue which have been fixed in former builds should not be re-opened, because these get extremely inconvenient to handle - you see yourself, how long the thread became on this issue. Thanks for your patience.
?? How can you say I'm the only one to experience this problem recently - immediately after I cite a URL where two other people agree on the same problem with OO3.1.1, in a thread from 27~30.Jan.2010? Did you read that thread? Could we do this?: Before opening yet another issue on this problem, via another bug report, could we exchange examples? Could I send you a file with the problem, and you send me your file without the problem? Meanwhile I must apologize that I have not cited the environments in which I have tested the problem. They are OO3.1.1 on WinXP and OO3.2 on WinXP and OSX 10.5.8.
If you (and others) are sure, that you have discovered a bug, please file a new issue - it is the most convenient way to handle. But only do this, if you are sure, that it is a bug - this is not a support formum here and we do not have the resources to grant support for a "free of charge" product.
jkaufmann->MRU > If you (and others) are sure, that you have discovered a bug, > please file a new issue - it is the most convenient way to handle. > But only do this, if you are sure, that it is a bug ... Since you mention "and others", I wrote to two persons (from the thread cited above) who have recently observed the problem, to see if they concur with a bug report. While I wait for their replies, may I observe a possible communication problem that seems to impede out progress, and see if we can figure out how to overcome it? I ask questions that get no answers and suggestions that get no acknowledgment. For example: - I asked if we could exchange examples: You send me an example which is working, and I send you one where it appears to be not working. My purpose is yours - "only do this [file a report], if you are sure, that it is a bug" - yet I received no reply to that suggestion. - I asked if it is really better to issue another duplicate bug report, when there have already been so many marked CLOSED:DUPLICATE. This seems like a reasonable question, intended to minimize the burden, but no reply. To minimize the time needed to get to a solution, would it not make our communication better - more efficient - if we reply directly to each other? > - this is not a support formum here and we do not have > the resources to grant support for a "free of charge" product. I sympathize. None of us has the resources for extraneous problems. That's why I value efficient communication. Much of what I do, "free of charge", is simply trying to do the right thing, which includes promoting OpenOffice. So I want it to work, preferably work well - an objective I know we share. Finally, with respect to bug reports: When an issue is marked "FIXED", does anyone close the loop with the filer of the bug report? Is there even any way to tell WHO filed the report? A few posts above, I mentioned three other bug reports that I found when my search turned up this one. I just went through the comments and find 22 other issues marked as CLOSED:DUPLICATE of this one. That means at least 23 other people have already filed bug reports similar to one I could write. Has any one of them been contacted to see if the issue is resolved for them?
@jkaufmann: You are likely confusing list numbering and chapter numbering. But we should discuss this outside issue tracker. You can send me your example as PM and I will have a look at it and send it back with comments.
