Bug ID: 150709
Summary: Autocorrect and toolbar bulleted and numbered list not
assigned to style
Product: LibreOffice

Using styles with Writer is mostly very powerful and flexible, with efficient
keyboard shortcuts like <CTRL-1> to format the paragraph as Heading 1, <CTRL-0>
as Body Text, etc.
But when working with lists, there seems to be no such efficiency. There is
AutoCorrect to automatically insert lists when typing "1. some text" or "* some
text", or F12 to toggle lists or normal paragraphs, but there seems to be way
to make these shortcuts play along with styles. Because of this, using keyboard
shortcuts like F12 or AutoCorrect is actually counter-productive unless you
happen to like the default formatting.
Confusingly, the menu item Format > Bullets and Numbering... also is completely
disconnected from any styles, while the neighbor menu Styles list several
numbering styles. Editing these of course has zero effect on lists created via
the mentioned method.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Tools > AutoCorrect > Options: Tick "Bulleted and numbered lists".
2. Produce some text preceded by a number and a dot (1. some text) or press
F12.
3. Edit the resulting list to your liking (Format > Bullets and Numbering... or
F11 to select desired style).
4. Repeat when you need another list.
Reproducible: Always.
Expected / wanted behavior:
1. Tools > AutoCorrect > Options: Tick "Bulleted and numbered lists".
2. Select "Bulleted and numbered lists" and click "Edit".
3. Select preferred style for lists and (optional) edit the style to your
liking.
4. Produce some text preceded by a number and a dot (1. some text).
5. Enjoy ordered lists with consistent styling.
In short, ordered lists should default to a paragraph style.
