Priority: medium
Bug ID: 76937
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: In Style & Formatting dialog, the layout of Position
controls is haphazard and confusing
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: narayana...@outlook.com
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.0.2 rc
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
1. Press F11 to view the "Style & Formatting" dialog.
2. Click on the "List styles" button
3. Select any existing style and right-click.
4. From the context menu, select the "Modify..." (or "New...") option.
5. The numbering style editor dialog opens. Switch to the "Position" tab.
6. There are several problems here:
(a) The level list and the controls look like two columns of the same table.
In other words, level#1 corresponds to "Numbering followed by" entry.
Similarly, level#5/6 corresponds to the "Numbering alignment" entry.
(b) The labels and actual controls are placed far too apart (there's a huge
gap)
(c) The controls are not placed in the correct sequence of their use.
(d) They are not functionally grouped.
As a result, the layout is extremely confusing and difficult to use.
I have made a video that shows these problems and suggested layout.

To keep its size small, I have inserted a "Pause" symbol at certain points.
Please pause the video at these points and pay attention to finer details.
Please download and confirm, so that I can removed the video from my drive.
(I do not intend to keep the video forever on my Google drive)
