            Bug ID: 116506
           Summary: Numbered Lists Don't Work And Haven't For A Decade
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.3.0 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: Gosmallwheels at MSN.com

Description:
Ever since I first used OpenOffice and then Libreoffice numbered lists haven't
worked using the Tahoma font. At number 10 the next word is about six spaces to
the right of the number. If I go into the format>bullets and numbers and select
the style I want it works; but it changes the font and won't work for Tahoma.
So if I highlight all of the list and select Tahoma it will then cause the
problem. I don't know how this will show up on your page but below I'm going to
try to show it to you by creating a list.
1. word
2. word
3. word
4. word
5. word
6. word
7. word
8. word
9. word
10.       word
If I move the cursor to the empty space and press backspace it will move the
word to the number 9 line behind the previous word. 9. wordword.

I don't know if this malfunctions for all fonts. I haven't tested it. This bug
is also in Google Docs. Maybe they got their code from you. I reported this
years ago and nothing was done. I'm just getting back to using Libreoffice and
the bug is still here. PLEASE fix this. 

A second bug is the spacing of the letters when printing documents with the
Tahoma font. It just looks ugly. The spacing is really bad. Please fix that
too.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select Tahoma font
2.Make a numbered list with at least ten entries
3.Observe how bad it looks

Actual Results:  
1.Select Tahoma font
2.Make a numbered list with at least ten entries
3.Observe how bad it looks at number ten. The first word will be many spaces to
the right. The numbers in the list don't realign so that the zero in the number
ten is below the number nine.

Expected Results:
After the number 10 there will be a big space between the zero and the next
letter. 10.      word. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
When typing the number 10 in a numbered list it should realign under the number
nine to show the zero directly under the number nine. The column of numbers
should shift to accommodate this change at every level such at number 9 to 10,
number 99 to 100, number 999 to 1000, et cetera. The beginning of each first
letter of each numbered item should align from number one to the last number in
the list. 

I did not try resetting the UserProfile.
I did not see if OpenGL is enabled. 
I'm not a computer guy. I just use programs. 
This has happened on my Gateway Windows XP SP3 desktop from 2004 in OpenOffice,
an Apple Macbook using Libreoffice from 2008 using Leopard. It did this on
Windows Vista. It did this on all of my GNU/Linux machines using Ubuntu and
Elementary since 2013. It does it on my Chromebook to this day in Google Docs.
It now does this on my 2017 Windows 10 computer.
