Description Jens611 2021-04-08 09:37:23 UTC
The item lists with roman digits [I. II. ...] and with bracketed numbers [(1) (2) ...] fail in align after fifth to tenth item. Suddenly a non removable tab is inserted at line start.

Please attach a document in which this occurs.

Roman digits is dedicated for chapter's numbering not for list

If you really want this, you must set a style.

You might also add to your list (Roman digits, bracketed numbers)
the case [ (a) (b) ...]. See the attached file: "Numbering".

It's not a bug. The feature can be adjusted via settings
in "Bullets and Numbering", "Position" tab
(indent, spacing, and alignment options) or by using styles.

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=83590&p=388161&hilit=+numbered+list+roman#p388161

( you might download the file "list_label_spacing_20160530a.odt"
attached to that topic )


And two additional notes:

1. 
MS Word 2010 (the last version of Word I have a license for)
provides the numbering list with Roman upper/lower case that works 
as may be expected.
See the attached screenshot "Word 2010 - numbering".

Perhaps there is a room for improving AOO in this regard?


2.

Is it really so?


> If you really want this, you must set a style.
Using styles is always recommended,
though settings in the "Bullets and Numbering" dialog
may suffice in simple cases.
