> But you originally reproduced it with LO 6.0.2 (see bug report)?.

Yes. The bug occurs for me both on 6.0.2 on Windows 10 and 5.1.6 on my Ubuntu
machine. It is interesting that it works fine for you and not for me. My
installation at least on Ubuntu is pretty fresh; Are you sure you selected only
paras 4-5 in Step 3 and not all six of them? 

I wonder what is causing the different behavior for you and me. I don't think I
changed any LO settings in my Ubuntu installation.

The behavior that it restarts the numbers may in fact be intended (I would not
necessarily be opposed to that). Imagine you've got a long text with a numbered
list and then further down you want to make another numbered list. Most likely,
you want it to start from 1. But I would claim that the Restart Numbering
property then should be set for the second numbered list. That way, I could
uncheck it if I want numbering to continue from the first list. Also the
Continue numbering command on the context menu should be identical to
unchecking Restart numbering, which it apparently isn't.
