View Full Version : Some lists in formatted text with indent specified don't behave as expected

Steps to reproduce:

1) Create an empty story named "Test Story" in a CoreRPG campaign, then save/quit.

2) Edit the story in db.xml to look something like:


<encounter>
<id-00001>
<locked type="number">0</locked>
<name type="string">Test Story</name>
<text type="formattedtext">
<p>Following is a bullet list:</p>
<list>
<li>First bullet</li>
<li indent="2">Second bullet, indent = 2</li>
<li indent="2">Third bullet, indent = 2</li>
<li indent="2">Forth bullet, indent = 2</li>
</list>
</text>
</id-00001>
</encounter>

3) Restart the campaign and see that the Second, Third, and Forth bullet list items are properly indented as specified.

4) Select the word "bullet" in the middle (Third bullet) and type CTRL-I to make it italic.

5) Notice that the indentation goes away, making the list item the same indentation as the "First bullet" line item.

6) Type CTRL-I again, removing the italic highlight and it returns to proper indentation.

I think the proper behavior is that the specified indentation displays the same regardless of whether or not there is any highlighting (bold, italics, underline) on the list item indented. Do you agree?

Thanks for your report. We're currently working on some other big projects; but we'll add it to our list the next time we are fixing up the text.

Any chance of adding CTRL-plus and CTRL-minus to increase/decrease indent (for line item) as an analog to making table cells wider/narrower?
