I discussed the writer numbering behaviour with OD today. Turns out they mimic
the word behavior and they use new ODF attributes to store the different
behavior. This adds further confusion to this issue. To summarize:
ODF defined the paragraph indention and the indention from numbering additive,
so the final indention of a paragraph would be the sum of is paragraph indention
and an optional indention from a numbering indention. In impress this was used
wrongly (both paragraph and numbering indention would always have the same value
and only one of the values where used) in OOo 2.x version. I fixed this for OOo
3.0 so now the file format is correctly used and changes in paragraph indention
does not cause a hard change of the numbering item any longer.
In the meantime, the writer added a new numbering behavior in OOo 3.0 to mimic
the word numbering and adding new ODF attributes (this means in OOo 3.0 impress
uses the writer OOo 2.x format and OOo 3.0 writer uses new new format). With the
new behavior the indention from a numbering is ignored as soon as a paragraph
indention is set. From my point of view a very useless behavior as you can no
longer indent a text that contains a numbering, as all numbering levels will be
flat on the paragraph indention.
The current user interface implementation of the new behavior in writer is still
work in progress and contains some issues and inconsistency. I have asked OD to
notify/include me on further work in this area so we can work out the
inconsistency of impress and writer in the future.
Now for the changed behavior of the ruler in impress, even looking at the new
writer implementation it would still be a mistake to hard format the numbering
when changing the ruler. The only viable solution I see is to add paragraph and
numbering indention to visualize the indention knobs in the ruler and if the
user changes them, the numbering intentions will be subtracted and only the
paragraph indention will be changed. This would result in the same visual
behavior as in OOo 2.x while still not making the past mistake to put a hard
formatted bullet item in each and every paragraph that has an indention.
Changing target to 3.x and accepting issue
