<pre>Description:
When defining the spacing in list style, the numbers are, in my opinion,
absolutely unclear.
E.g. I want different levels to start at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 cm etc.
And I want the spacing between the start of the numbering/list to be always
e.g. 0.65 cm
I'd imagine just setting two numbers: the indent and the numbering width – as
in MS Word.
However, there are three numbers to input: indent, tab width, second indent
(right now I don't know the English equivalent, see screenshot).
The third number must equal the first + the second, otherwise the start of the
list text jumps at random directions and it is impossible to predict what it
will do.
I think in earlier versions this setting was more clear, but I can't remember
in which exactly…
Steps to Reproduce:
try to define a list style
Actual Results:
it is not clear how the numbers work and produce random outcomes
Expected Results:
the settings are simple, working and easy to understand
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
by the way, the 10-level system of setting the list spacing is just
exaggerated; it would be enough to include just three input fields for
everything:
1) the indent of the first level
2) the indent for each successive level (e.g. when inputting 0.5, the second
level would have the indent of the first level + 1 * 0.5, the third = first + 2
* 0.5 etc.)
3) the width of the numbering</pre>
