Description Brian Piccioni 2015-02-27 01:42:48 UTC
This is an annoying bug. Which seems to be associated with HTML documents.

I created heading 3 style with numbering. I set Tools, Outline Numbering to 1,2,3 with after )<space>. 

Everything works fine until I close the file. When I reopen, already numbered Heading 3 styles are fine, but if I create a new line the number is missing.

1) First heading
2) Second heading
Third heading created after file close.

If I go to Outline Numbering for Heading 3 it is reset to default (no numbering). If I reconfigure it I now get

1) 1) First heading
2) 2) Second heading
3) Third heading created after file close.

and I have to manually remove the extra 1), 2), etc..

Thereafter, everything works fine until I close and reopen the file. I have tried to duplicate with with a "clean file" but the Outline Numbering menu item is no longer available.

I'd like to attempt to reproduce it but I prefer to follow the exact same steps as you. Can you describe the exact steps in order to reproduce? Thanks.

sample document showing the bug

Attached please find a document which always has this problem. I will resubmit it after "fixing" missing numbering.

I use Heading 3 style and set Tools Outline Numbering to 1,2,3,4 and ) (") ") after. I change lines to Heading 3 with <ctlr> 3. As I add more Heading 3s they are correctly numbered. 

I then save and close the document (it has to be closed). When I reopen, everything looks OK. If I add another Heading 3 line, it is not numbered. If I go to Tools Outline Numbering, it has been reset to the defaults. If I set it back to 1,2,3,4 and ) (") ") after, my "new" Heading 3 line is numbered correctly, but now all the previously numbered now show (for example) 1) 1) This is a heading, 2) 2) This is another heading. 


I have discovered a workaround: I turn off number through Tools Outline Numbering before closing it, at least that way I do not have to manually delete the extra 1), 2), etc.

Can't open Tools Outline Numbering menu item

I promised to show an updated (post bug) version of the document, however, I can no longer open Tools Outline Numbering in the menu anymore even though I am in Print Layout View. This is a new development I encountered when attempting to create a clean document to show the bug and now it has affected my sample document as well. I don't know how to get back the Tools Outline Numbering menu item.

Nonetheless, in my other documents I was able to access the Tools Outline Numbering menu item, leading to the problem as described 

1) 1) First Heading 3
2) 2) Second Heading 3
3) The Heading 3 item added after closing and reopening the document.

Dear Brian Piccioni,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa
