--- Comment #11 from Dieter Praas <dgp-mail@gmx.de> ---
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #10)
Mind the different actions. One list is styled as "List 1" (actually it has
no style, check the (f)odt) the other has the newly introduced list style
"Numbering 123" (taken into the saved file). Admittedly, it's far from being
clear to the user.

I agree, that it is unclear to the user.

Take also care whether you add the last break to the list. IIRC, it is the
reason why things are continued or not. There are smarter people than me
knowing all about the background.

So the rule seems to be:
- If there is the same numbering style before, LO continues numbering using
Context menu => Bullet and Numbering => Number List
- If a new numbering style is introduced (like Numbering 123), the numbering
continues using Context menu => Bullet and Numbering => Number List
This is indepent from adding the last break to the list or not.
Toggle Numbered List Button always continues the last list.

So not a bug, but perhaps the need for at least a little improvement to make
numbering more user friendly. I suppose an easy way could be to add "Restart
Numbering" to paragraph context menu.
