Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 92156
Formatting issues when using "outlined" numbering
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:18:10 UTC
When using an outline format in numbering, Writer will increase the space between the outline index and the beginning of the text for certain numbered and lettered lines. To recreate: - Open a new document - Click on the "Numbering On/Off" button to turn numbering on - Right-Click next to the number, choose "Numbering/Bullets" to get the "Bullets and Numbering" panel - Choose the "Outline" tab - Choose the third outline from the left on the top row (1., (a) i., A., etc.) - Type a little (or even one character) on the first line (number 1.), hit enter, repeat - When you get to number 10 the beginning of your text will jump a half inch to the right (the number 10. will still line up with the rest of the numbers) - When you get to number 11 the text will go back to normal - Numbers 12 and on will produce text a half inch to the right - Try the same thing with each sub-level of the outline, (e.g., "(aa)" on will produce the error, as will "vii." and "viii.," so on and so forth). Version 2.4.1 does not seem to be subject to the same errors. Trying to an example file but cannot figure out how, will attempt to attach after submitting.

You can workaround this by removing the blank of the outline numbering in Format.Numbering and bullets.Options dialog (field "Before"). MRU->OD: somehow we should remove these space characters from the defaults. This makes the indentation slightly look different from a numbering started via toolbar button.
This defect is still present in OOO300m7 and it happens regardless of what outline format you use. Any word on what is going on with this one??
The described behavior has been introduced by the new position and space attributes for list levels. It is needed to adjust better the build-in list styles to these new attributes.
move target to 3.2.
I am sorry, due to limited resources I have to re-target this issue to the next release.
setting keyword "numbering"
It is not clear if this issue will be solved for OOo 3.3. To be honest I am adjusting the target. I know that jrahemipour is working on a task to adjust all built-in list styles to avoid such issues/problems. OD->jrahemipour: Please take over this issue. Assign it back to me, when you finished the details on the needed adjustments to the built-in list styles.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
