--- Comment #1 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
Thanks Jean-François.

Regarding the Format > Bullets and Numbering dialog:
The Impress dialog seems to be a mix between the "Position" and "Customize"
tabs of Writer's Bullets and Numbering dialog.
It's true that it is quite inconsistent between the two components.

Regarding the editing of styles:

The was a recent conversation on a related topic in bug 157264, showing that it
is probably common to expect these "Presentation styles" to behave just like
Writer List style do (in modifying them and applying them).

Currently, these Outline styles allow changing Numbering settings in the
"Customize" tab for all different levels, regardless of which Outline style is
being edited. So it makes sense to expect to also be able to change the "Size"
and "Position" settings as well.

So I see two issues here:
A) Make the Format > Bullets and Numbering dialog consistent across components
B) Make Position and Size settings available when editing Outline styles -
which I think is supposed to be covered by bug 65003.

This is in a way related to proper support of list styles in Impress/Draw,
tracked in bug 152654.
And general UI improvements of the Bullets and Numbering dialog are tracked in
bug 120905.
