--- Comment #27 from Luke Deller <luke@deller.id.au> ---
(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #12)
Yes, unclear why/how we have formatted multi-line Heading with a negative
indent for first line.

I did some digging to understand this.  The old behaviour actually makes sense
when outline numbering is enabled: it means that the indent of the second line
will align with the heading text on the first line, taking into account that
the first line starts with a number followed by a tab stop before the heading
text begins.

I can also see that the default back in early 1996 was to have outline
numbering enabled, from some old German comments in revision 84a3db80 of
sw/source/core/doc/number.cxx

Also, there is some weird juxtaposition in editengine
in that the successive HEADING levels increase the base line of the indent.
That doesn't seem correct either.

This increase in the indent amount makes sense when fully-qualified (dotted)
section numbering is used.  For example a level 3 heading may have a dotted
number like "5.1.7", and deeper levels have even more dots, so they need more
room for the numbering.  I guess that such numbering used to be the default.
