Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 103745
Numbering of list gets messed up after save+reload when inserting bullet list into numbered list

Create a new writer document containing the following numbered list. 1. A 2. B 3. C 4. D 5. E 6. F 7. G Use "Restart Numbering" to get the numbering to start at "1." on the line with the "C". Now the list looks like this: 1. A 2. B 1. C 2. D 3. E 4. F 5. G Now do the following: Move the cursor to the line "4. F" and click the "Bullets On/Off" button. The list now looks like this: 1. A 2. B 1. C 2. D 3. E *. F 4. G Note that the 5 turned into a 4. This is the expected behaviour and not a bug. The problem comes when you now save the document (as ODF 1.2) and reload it. Now the last line has magically turned into "3. G". Looking at the XML the problem seems to be that the list starting with "C" has no "xml:id" attribute (which should be mandatory according to http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/23418/07-04-05-proposal-lists.odt ) and that the list starting with "G" references the wrong list in its "text:continue-list" attribute.
MRU->OD: as described, create a numbered list of several paragraphs, in one paragraph set "restart list", in another change to type "Bullet" by button. Now save & reload -> the numbered list is now seperated into two lists.
Several of my customers are affected by this bug in documents that rely on numbering and bullets. It's crippling large reports as they have to send the documents to me for the numbering to be repaired, then sent back. For 30+ pages of reports this is very time consuming! I have several real-world documents that have been affected if anyone needs to look at the underlying text/data.
accepted. This is a serious issue -> changing priority to P2. Planning to fix this for OOo 3.3.
setting keyword "numbering"
fixed in cws sw32bf07 - changed file: /xmloff/source/text/txtparae.cxx, rev. 277480
requested integration into OOo 3.2 --> changing target
OD->MRU: Checked in internal installation set of cws sw32bf07 - please verify.
Verified fix in CWS sw32bf07.
Checked fix in OOO320m6.
