 1.2 Section
 1.1.15 Subsection

 I created the former with MyHeading2 and the latter with MyHeading3.
 Why Libre Office does not take into account that I am already past
 1.2? Is there a tricky setting that makes this?

     Perhaps you are using too many heading styles; you probably only
 need one. In the above example, try this. Place the cursor at the end of
 the line 1.2 Section. Use the Enter key to create a new line after it.
 If it does not have the MyHeading2 style, select this style for this
 line. Then use the Tab key. This should create 1.2.1 in this line.
     If you create all the heading numbering you want in the Options tab
 of your highest heading style, probably MyHeading, you can use the Tab
 to go down one level of the outline each time you type the Tab key.
 Shift+Tab will go up one level.
     Hopefully, this will make some sense.

Going to the end of the previous heading and pressing Enter works, but
I have a long text already and I would like to correct the headings in
place. Why it does not work? If I go after 1.1.1 to the next heading
and make it MyHeading2 so I use one less Heading style, and press the
right arrow on the heading icon row, it changes to 1.2.1. I do not
understand the logic behind this. Or, is this a straight bug?

The cause was a really strange bug: in the Position tab of the Bullets
and Numbering dialog box the indentation numbers change for unknown
reasons and also the Start at field in the Options tab. Is this a
known bug?

Use the standard styles. IE, Heading2 and Heading3.
This will save you a lot of trouble.

If you insist on using your own heading styles -- which is possible -- 
you should associate each of your heading styles with the outline level 
to which it pertains (ie, MyHeading2 - level 2, etc.).

Have a look at Tools / Chapter numbering, which will help into this.

BTW and by all means, never *ever* use paragraph numbering for headings 
numbering.
