Sigh... it is the same. Select the default numbering list you've used and open
the 'Bullets and Numbering...' dialog, and navigate to its position tab.

Note the Position and Spacing *defaults* for the standard template, e.g.
Default paragraph style number lists--here en-US locale, will differ slightly
for metric based locales--are:

aligned at '0.25"', aligned 'Left', followed by 'Tab stop'. The tab stop
'0.50"' and the indent '0.50"' are the position where the list text will start
and do not have to match. Since the default list is aligned left, the numbering
starts at 0.25", is however wide, and closes with a <tab>.

When the size/width of font in use pushes the word bound of the numbering past
the set tab stop, the edit shell moves to the next available default tab stop.

You have several choices when working with larger fonts in the standard
template:
--increase the default tab stop,
--set numbering alignment 'Right'
--assign a list style to the lists (adjusting the spacing)
--create custom list/paragraph styles

The simplest is to align 'Right' to see the effect. While custom lists and
paragraphs can give precise typogrphic control. Users can not change the
standard template (to change the default) but trivial to create new template
documents with defaults adjusted.

This is not a bug, just a manifestation of the defaults using the 'Standard'
template.  Again, please read the manual--or seek assistance on ASK or in the
User mail list.
