While creating numbered lists in OpenOffice.org 3 Writer the list numbers often
end up being a different point size than the text being entered.

Steps for Reproduction:

(1) Launch OpenOffice.org 3 Writer.
(2) Set the font to a value other than the default, such as 10-points.
(3) Click the Numbering On/Off button in the toolbar.
(4) Enter a few line-items of text.

You will note that the numbers in the list remain at the default value of
12-points. However, the text entered for each line item will be 10-points as
specified. This problem appears to occur without respect for specified Style.

Workaround:

In order to correct the font-size of the numbers, the user must select the
entire list and set the font size to be equal with that of the line item text
(e.g. 10-points) in order to correct the discrepancy in formatting.

Further Observations:

I have observed this issue in both Microsoft Windows 32-bit builds of
OpenOffice.org 3 and Linux 64-bit builds as well. 

If the ODF Text file is saved, the file closed and then opened the formatting
issues are still present. Therefore, this seems to be a problem with how the
numbered lists are being written to the file, not simply a display issue.

Also, if the numbered list is exported to another file format besides ODF Text
(e.g. .DOC) and contains numbered lists in a font size other than the default of
12-points (e.g. 10-points, set with the workaround described above) it will
seemingly at random set the list numbers back to the default of 12-points every
time the file non-ODF file is written to.

I have not tried to reproduce this issue outside of Writer. It may be present in
Calc, Impress, etc.
