I would be interested in others' views on the correct behaviour of the 'increase indent' button in Writer 3.1.

The Writer Help says that a click on this button will increase the indent to the next tab stop. It turns out that this is actually the next default tab stop, as set in Tools->Options. It does not take account of any tab positions set using Format->Paragraph.

MS Word 2000 does not behave this way: it takes account of manually set tab stops before falling back on the default tab positions. I would suggest that this is the more rational behaviour.

I did raise this as a bug, but the developers' response was that the Help page needs amending, not the behaviour of writer. It would seem the original specs for this area are not that specific. What do other people think?
