[Bug 831305] Re: errors in indentation while numbering in libreoffice writer

 

I can confirm this problem and I can say it has been a headache since
OpenOffice 2 or prior. Auto bullets is almost useless in
LibreOffice/OpenOffice because of this bug. I have attached my document
showing the same exact thing.

You can see that on Page 4 there is a very big extra gap for roman
numeral III, roman numerals I & II look fine but then there is a gap for
3 and as the original bug report stated, there is intermitant problems
with tabbing/spaces from this point on. I am trying to add an attachment
but launchpad is rejecting it (stating not found despite me clicking on
it in the browser that pops up when I click on attachment)....not sure
what's going on with launchpad. I can email the example if needed

Title:
  errors in indentation while numbering in libreoffice writer

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  OS: Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal stable
  Application: LibreOffice 3.3.3 
  OOO330m19 (Build:301)
  tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2
  Writer (installed via PPA)

  Firstly, when using numbering of the style (i), (ii), (iii) etc, the
  indentations are wrong. The third line (and often the fourth and
  sixth) always has a greater indentation than the other lines. The
  numbers are aligned vertically, but the text is not. It is
  approximately one TAB further. This error does not manifest itself
  with other numbering styles such as 1., 2., 3. or a), b), c) etc.

  Secondly, when typing "a.", "(a)" or "a)" (without quotes), typing
  some text and then hitting Enter, the next line does not become "b.",
  "(b)" or "b)" respectively. Correct numbering can be performed by
  using another numbering style and then changing it via the Bullets and
  Numbering toolbar, but it is an inelegant solution. All other common
  numbering styles work fine, though the options in the Bullets and
  Numbering toolbar do not include such common styles as a., b., c. and
  (i), (ii), (iii) etc.
