--- Comment #41 from ajlittoz <[email protected]> ---
The problem in the sample file is an inconsistent configuration between the
non-bullet paragraph and the bullet paragraph.

Non-bullet paragraph has 1 cm left indent and -1 cm first line indent but this
is brought by direct formatting.

In bullet paragraph, list style takes over the indents and replaces them with
its own. We have both left indent and first line set at 1.27 cm with reference
for bullet positioned at 0.64 cm.

In the sample file, we see that the bullet is displayed at 0 cm (left margin)
and not at 0,64 cm. This discrepancy should ring bells about direct formatting
mayhem.

Bulleting has probably been done with direct formatting (trough Format>Bullet &
Numbering) and been applied to the existing paragraph style (do I guess
right?). Then paragraph direct formatting has been applied over the yet current
formatting.

My usual mind model is to consider the following precedence, from lowest to
highest:
- paragraph style
- character style
- direct formatting

But it does not include list style. It looks that list style is somewhere below
direct formatting. Mike Kaganski corrected me once suggesting that I should
refine my model into:
- para style
- para DF
- char style
- char DF

This new model should include a layer for list DF. I assume that list styles
are processed simultaneously with the paragraph style they are attached to, so
that list DF is above para style layer.

IMHO, I'd blame user for using direct formatting which always messes things up,
all the more when we try to make advanced features to contribution.
