Bug ID: 169441
Summary: Decouple bullet library items from default levels
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.0.0 alpha0+ master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: bibisected, bisected, regression
Severity: normal

Seeing the results from bug 166229, its fix and the change in bug 168292, I
have the following concerns:
1. Big change to the default view and logic, while users tend to not like
sudden, big changes to basic functionality.
2. The original logic repeating 3 levels has changed to unique ones. As far as
I can see, 3 levels repeating by default is fairly standard in office
applications, that way it's already easy to distinguish between levels even in
multilevel lists.
3. The new bullet sizes are disproportionally large compared to the text, which
takes the focus away from the content. Based on bug 108697 and duplicates I can
see why some of those are preferred in specific cases, but that doesn't mean
they should replace the default ones.
What started this whole series of changes is that due to the commit below in
bug 108697, while it made the bullets configurable, now the bullet library is
directly tied to the default levels, which shouldn't be the case.
I'd add a separate list config that sets the default bullets (+ corresponding
font), it starts with the 3 original ones, and the list repeats on further
levels. Then the default bullets are still configurable as intended.
