Bug ID: 166912
Summary: The AutoCorrect lists immediate after space needs some
coverage in Help
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
The AutoCorrect feature "Bulleted and numbered lists immediate after pressing
space" is not described in Help. For it to function, the
Behavior of the 'APPLY_NUMBERING_AFTER_SPACE' [1] Autocorrect selection
"Bulleted and numbered lists immediate after pressing space" seems dependent on
having the 'APPLY_NUMBERING' Autocorrect option "Bulleted and numbered lists.
Bullet symbol ●" checkbox also enabled. And that does not seem to match the
feature as described in Help, which only indicate on <Enter> but use the -, *,
or +.
The + <space> does not activate a list and requires the <enter>.
