            Bug ID: 122423
           Summary: DOCX Import Tab settings in bulleted lists with custom
                    style and direct formatting look different when opened
                    in Writer
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Microsoft Word has a very... unique way to handle lists with tabs and custom
styles, which is not interpreted well in LibreOffice Writer in some cases. The
result of this is different text positioning (effective tab sizes) in bulleted
lists.

Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Create a simple document with a bulleted list in Microsoft Word and
select it.
    2. Adjust List Indents (Right click on the list > Adjust List Indents) as
follows: Bullet position 5 cm ; Text indent: 5,5 cm ; [X] Add tab stop at: 5,5
cm
    3. Create a New Style;
    4. Change the left indent from 5 cm to 0,5 cm in the paragraph settings of
the newly created style with the following setting.
    5. Save the file as DOCX, open it in LibreOffice Writer and compare the
two.

Actual Results:
Both Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer keep the original tab settings in
the Adjust Line Indents (MSO) / Bullets and Numbering (LO) windows, but only
LibreOffice Writer actually applies the setting (5,5 cm) resulting a different
text position after the bullet.


Expected Results:
LibreOffice Writer should position the text after the bullet just like
Microsoft Word does when importing the DOCX file.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
