Justin, it seems that I owe you a sincere apology. I was struggling to learn
the whole styles method of creating documents and must have somehow changed
that level 3 left outline list margin setting  inadvertently because I have no
recollection of having done so (it was after all a fairly short test document
that I created specifically to follow along with a LO Writer Styles video
tutorial). I was aware from my reading of the manual that direct formatting
takes precedence, which makes sense, but I did not think I had changed any
settings directly. I made use of the Style Inspector and noticed what you did,
but I could not find a way to manually change the errant margin setting, and
since everything in the Bullets & Numbering dialog looked correct (except as
noted), I presumed there was indeed a bug. 

You were also correct in that the problem did NOT exhibit itself in a new
document, which I am absolutely certain I tried before writing this bug report
to verify my bug assumption, but alas a new document today works fine. Not sure
why, but obviously it’s either something I did (if you make a mistake once, you
are apt to make the same mistake again moments later due to muscle memory) or
it’s this touchy Asus keyboard once again having a mind of it’s own.
