I'm a bit frustrated by this and I'm not sure if this is a bug or I just don't know what I'm doing. When you create a numbered list in Libre/open office writer if you decide to add/remove a #'d item, it won't update subsequent numbers in that list. I tried the "restart numbering" but it only does it for a single line item and not all of them in that number list.
Example
1. Dog
2. Cat
3. Pig
4. Mouse
5. Horse
6. Squirrel
Change:
1. Dog
2. Cat
3. Pig
4. Mouse
5. Horse
6. Squirrel
Expected result:
1. Dog
2. Cat
3. Pig
4. Horse
5. Squirrel
Actual result:
1. Dog
2. Cat
3. Pig
5. Horse
6. Squirrel
or if I'm adding...
1. Dog
2. Cat
3. Pig
4. Horse
5. Mouse <-ADD
5. Squirrel
Expected:
1. Dog
2. Cat
3. Pig
4. Horse
5. Mouse
6. Squirrel
Actually happens:
1. Dog
2. Cat
3. Pig
4. Horse
5. Mouse
5. Squirrel
Using the restart numbering only works on a single line at a time for some reason and I can't figure out how to do it for the entire number list.
