outline numbering position bug example 1
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1 Open test doc attached.
2 Numbering position at 1.1.1 is corrupt and cannot be changed.
3 View paragraph 1.1.3:
Position of level 4 numbering corrupts at 1.1.3.3.
Level 4 sub paragraph indent fails at same place.
4 Rest of paragraph 1 is corrupt.
5 Initially paragraph 2 appears to behave correctly.
6 Level 2 indent fails again at para 2.10 (NB in the original doc, it fails
at 2.9 - the difference between the two is that 2.9 does not straddle the page
in the original).
7 Level 3 indent fails again at 2.15.2.
8 And so on throughout the document.
8 Level 1 indent fails at 35 - if not before.
EXPECTED RESULTS
Outline layout should be as the settings for the different levels in the
Position dialogue in the Bullets and Numbering dialogue.
ACTUAL RESULTS
The positions of numbering and text do not obey these settings. It appears to
be impossible to correct them.
GENESIS
The document has been drafted gradually over a month or more. The bug appeared
as follows last week:
1. There is a related link concerning 'continue previous numbering' which would
not function in one part of the document. This had been apparent for several
weeks, but could be overridden by restarting the numbering manually. This will
be reported separately.
2. Was working in that part of the document (part 3 or 4 in the test document -
accessible from the table of contents) on the outline positions. Nothing
appeared to be happening, so tried repeatedly to make changes without any
visible result.
3. Then, on scrolling to the beginning, found that the changes appeared to have
been applied to the early parts of the doc, but in a corrupt form. That part of
the document had not been on screen at the time, so were undetectable until
scrolling back.
4. On trying to change those, each time the OK was clicked on the Position
outline, the cursor and screen would fly back to the position viewed in 1 of
this section.
5. Could not undo the changes by any means - menu, toolbar icon, shortcut.
Suspect the problem got caught by auto save.
