--- Comment #10 from Timur <gtimur at gmail.com> ---
OK, let's clear this out here and open a documentation bug separately.

To get a better overview, after step 2. change Numbering type. It's not just
restart at 1, it's another, different list. So that may explain Step 4.

>And the behavior in my Step 6 is also not right in my opinion.
Makes sense. Looks it's again the same problem of different lists. 

> Is this the only place in LO where selection direction makes a difference?
Can't give a list. But yes, like for deleting a text and writing new with track
changes.

Let's hear others.

Adding needsUXEval here. 

What's reported here looks intuitive without additional options and it's MS
style. LO had current behavior all the way from OO and it gives more options.
Like, continue previous numbering just for selected paras and keep others as
they were. This change would be substantial, even if accepted.
