wrong or mistakable behaviour of numbering
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:21:59 UTC
I use a numbering with numbers, insert a sub level with bullets, go one level back and expect the next number. But i got first bullets and when i change agian to numbers i got a new numbering started with 1 again. See attached bug doc
Created attachment 26044 [details] document showing the wrong behaviour of numbering
You have generated three lists instead of one. This is well possible, if you use the buttons, which generate anonymous lists. It is yet not easily possible to continue such an anonymous list. There a two ways to correct your list: (1) Mark all listitems together and assign a liststyle. In the properties of that style in the tab "options" you can choose "numbers" for the first level and "bullets" for the second level. (2) Select all paragraphs which shall belong to one list, hold down ctrl-key if it is not continuous. Then use numbering-button twice. See also online-help search item "Comining Numbered List".
you are right and thanks for this info i wasn't aware of this function. But nevertheless it is a bug and at least the default behaviour is wrong. You are an expert and know these tricks/functions but the normal default user doesn't and can probably not work with styles. We should address the major group of dummy users with a good default.
Considering the effort, the priority, the risk and our resource planning I've to retarget this issue to OOo Later.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
