--- Comment #7 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
You have two lists, the nested aspect is superficially. "Easy" to follow via
the Style Inspector where the ordered list has the id 33935... and the
unordered list 6383...

What happens internally is that pressing the ordered/unordered list toolbar
button you create a new list style on-the-fly. "Add to List" removes the
current list id attribute from the paragraph and adds the other. (List is an
attribute of the paragraph.) And apparently we just take the previous list
disregarding its type (ordered / unordered). I agree that continuing the same
list style is typically desired and we should change this.

(Nested and inner/outer understands indentation as 'level' criteria. That's
wrong, the indentation is just one of the many attributes of a list. Using the
style is the only attribute that reasonably can be used.)

By the way, the supposed workflow is to create dedicated list styles and assign
those to the paragraph. You don't "Add to List" but assign it (look for the
second last option at the Stylist).
