Bug ID: 155834
Summary: Unnumbered entries do not move together with their
main entry, when list's "move item up / down" commands
are used
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needsUXEval
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

In lists, there is a feature of "unnumbered entry" (Format->Lists->Insert
Unnumbered Entry; put cursor to the very beginning of a non-first numbered
entry and press Backspace). This feature (having a really bad name!) does *not*
create new list entries, but rather puts this paragraph into the *same* list
entry as the previous numbered paragraph. This way, one list item can contain
multiple paragraphs, the same way as e.g. a table cell.
However, the controls for managing *lists* (e.g., Format->Lists->Move Item
Down/Up) do not consider the *list items*, but instead, work with individual
paragraphs.
Steps:
1. Type several paragraphs, e.g.:
a
b
c
d
e
2. Select them, and make them a list (e.g., using F12).
3. Put cursor before "c", and press Backspace to make the "c" into the same
item as "b".
At this stage, the document looks like
1. a
2. b
c
3. d
4. e
4. Now put cursor to paragraph "b", and try to move it up using
Format->Lists->Move Item Up.
Expected result: the *whole list item*, consisting of the two paragraphs "b"
and "c", moves up; the document should become
1. b
c
2. a
3. d
4. e
Actual result: only paragraph "b" moves up, leaving the paragraph "c" where it
was, and thus, joining it to another list item. The document looks like
1. b
2. a
c
3. d
4. e
Indeed, the same problem happens, when the cursor stays on paragraph "c" - then
it moves without "parent" entry.
