--- Comment #3 from Dolly <[email protected]> ---
The bug can be reproduced with the following STEPS:
1. Go to Lorem Ipsum and generate a list or select any list you have from
another document
2. Copy that list (Select All + CTRL-C)
3. Start OpenOffice Write
4. Click on the Bullets button to start a list
5. Paste the list you copied
6. Select the whole list 
7. Go to Format/Paragraphs and select Single

RESULT:
The space between the first two lines of the list is larger than between the
other lines below.
But, what is actually happening is that when selecting the first bullet, a
specific format is set: Space is added below lines. See screenshot here:

And then, after pasting another list from another document than OpenOffice, the
formatting is reset and different from the first line. 

-> So the actual bug is that while creating lists with copy+paste, the
formatting is not kept for the whole list. 

IMPACT:
This bug is the most visible when the user pastes another list has no
formatting whatsoever. 
If the pasted list uses 1.5 spacing, because the first line has set a specific
space under it, the difference between lines will not be that visible. 

WORKAROUND:
To resolve this, the user has to:
1. Go to Format/Paragraphs
2. Remove any spaces between line: before and after
3. Select Single spacing again
Result: the spacing should be the same and correct. 

Here is a video reproducing the issue and the workaround:

REFERENCE TOOLS:
I also verified other word processing software:
* Google Docs - going through the same steps: all the lines of the list will
have the same formatting so it’s not confusing for the user.
See screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/nOzjY2TTwGNe
* Microsoft Word - going through the same steps: the bullet selected at first
goes to the end of the list and remains empty, and the pasted list comes at the
beginning of the list with a different formatting but all the lines have the
same formatting.

ENVIRONMENT:
I tested on Win 10 Professional and MAC OS X El Capitan; v 10.11.6 
* Open Office version 4.1.3
And MAC OS X El Capitan; v 10.11.6 
* Open Office version 4.1.1
