Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 75663
autoformat does not start numbering on paragraph if previous numbering has been deleted
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:18:04 UTC
If I start a new document and write a numbering list, Writer automatically start the numbering after I put the first element... For example: 1. Uno <-- I start with "1. Uno" then press enter and Writer... 2. Dos <-- put the "2. " automatically in the correct way... 3. Tres <-- and so on with the others elements... The bug if I delete all the numbering list and start a new one from the first line... For example: Uno <-- I write exactly the same "1. Uno" and Writer... 1. Dos <-- move (start) the numbering list in the next line... 2. Tres <-- and it continue normally after that... Thats an annoying bug... it only happen with the first line... if I start the numbering in the next line there is no problem. I hope my report help to make OpenOffice.org better.
confirmed with OOo 2.2RC3 This problem seems to be caused by the handling of backspce when deleting numbering via backspace (see issue 68714 / spec "NumberingBullets1" chapter 7.4). To reproduce: - type 1. some text<Enter> -> auto format will apply numbering - remove the text and at least the number - type again 1. some text<Enter> -> autoformat will apply numbering to the next paragraph but not to the actually typed one (numbering is still off, as it has been disabled by previous deletion via backspace)
As André described, start a numbered list via autocorrect, delete all text, do it again -> numbering starts in second paragraph now.
according to release status meeting -> 3.x
