Perhaps this shouldn't be necessary (perhaps it should be the default 
behaviour) but (in *Draw*), select the entire list and then

- Go to Format>Bullets and Numbering
- Select the Position tab
- Select Level 1
- Increase the "Width of Numbering" from zero to anything you like the look 
of
- Click OK

The second (and subsequent) line(s) of a long bullet point will now justify 
under the beginning of the *text* of the first line instead of under its 
bullet.

It mght be possible to increase the "Width of Numbering" in the default 
template for Draw so that it is always available but I haven't tried.
