------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Sep 19 10:40:29 +0000 2007 ------- i have been discussing this issue in the forums, supposedly for OOo 2.2.1 in both ubuntu 7.04 and xp, but it took sometime. however, the problem still persists in OOo 2.3 XP. the thread is found here: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=61935&highlight= the problem is with bullets following a numbered list. whenever there are nested bullets within a numbered list, the bullets encounter problems, specifically: 1. first bullet after a number will not change it's bullet type automatically when pressing <tab> 2. the second bullet will attach itself to the first one, when it is moved one level to the left of the previous bullet. how to replicate: 1. insert number (<F12>) 2. type text, press <enter> 3. press <tab> to move one level to the right; type text and press <enter> 4. press <shift><F12> to change number into bullet - notice here that when moving the bullet into different levels (<tab> or <shift><tab>), the bullet type doesn't change it's appearance 5. type text and press <enter> to insert another bulleted line on the same level - this time, the bullet type will change when moving the bullet to levels going to the right 6. bring second bulleted line one level to the left of the first bullet (<shift><tab>) - it should change bullet type 7. now press <tab> - see that the above bullet (bullet 1) will also move along with bullet 2... whichever way you go (to the right or to the left) in our discussion, i am told that i am going against the nature of how OOo handles lists. such that a numbered list should IDEALLY not be on the same level as a bulleted list, supposedly causing the irregularities. the problem with this type of handling is that it is assumed that users will only have numbered lists on any given level. but what if say, the numbered list has ended, and users want to add bulleted lists on level 1, indicating that it is not a sublevel or part of the last numbered entry, but a bulleted entry in its own right. a workaround given is to format your bullets and numbered list in such a way that they do not reside on the same level, which i think makes sense for better formatting and layout, but sacrifices flexibility and user control over lists. in addition to this, the problem of the bullets attaching themselves to each other would still be present, regardless of level. the problem is with bullets coming after numbered lists, not their level. i'm not sure whether this would be considered a bug, or users not having the right idea how bullets and numbers should be placed, formatted or handled in documents - but who determines what? isn't it the users and not the application? please check the link to the thread which also includes screenshots with discussions, plus a sample document. thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
