Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 53577
Heading-numbering not displayed/assignable when re-opening document
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:20:00 UTC
This is reproduceable with m122. Open the attached document. Scroll to page 10 of the document.You will see that some headings have numbering and some do not. "Vorsätzliche und.." for example does not display any numbering, although it should. As "Vorsätzlich..." is heading 4, select it and double-click on heading 4 in the stylist, nothing will change in terms of numbering. Now double click on heading 1 and numbering will be displayed, then double-click on heading 4 again and numbering will now also be displayed for heading 4. Now open the stylist and look at the properties for Heading 1 and Heading 4. In the Numbering Tab you see that "None" is selected as Numbering Style. Now go to Extras > Outline Numbering, when the dialogue has opened, just click OK. Try to assign a heading-style to the heading it did not work before, it will still not work for numbering. Yet the headings where numbering was displayed before will still display their numbering, even if you assign them to another style, they will not change it. Re-open the properties of the Heading 1 style and look at the numbering-tab. The selected Numbering-style is not "None" anymore but empty. The latter happened to all heading-styles! Go through all heading-styles and change them back to None. Now you will get the numbering displayed for all the headings. Concluding, one has to open the outline-numbering to get the numbering to work for those headings that do not display numbering, yet this will set all heading-styles to use an empty numbering-style, which has to be undone before numbering really works as expected. As the display numbering will work as expected after one has done the above and saved the document, this might be considered solved. Yet Extras > Outline-numbering setting all heading-styles to empty still happens. As a result the user has to undo that change every time after s/he has used the outline-numbering dialogue, which should not be necessary.

MRU->HBRINKM: please have a look, why the numberings are not displayed for the 4th Level Headings in this document. The XML code reveals, that this is an outline-numbered paragraph where the number hasn't been removed manually. Thanks!
Considering the effort, the priority, the risk and our resource planning I've to retarget this issue to OOo Later.
Shall I submit a seperate bug for the Outline-numbering bug? According to the second comment it seems that this bug is only considered to be about the numbering not displaying. However it is also about the use of Extras > Outline Numbering setting all Heading-styles to use "" instead of "None" as numbering style, making them useless. This is far worse than the displaying problem!
