Ordered Lists Don't Reset at Section Level

Steps to reproduce

An ordered list with only 1’s will render correctly if written as a markdown outline. But if you use actual numbers in your source text, it appears something is wrong with the section-reset behavior. If I write the following in plain text:

1. 
    2. 
        3. 
            4. 
                5.
                    6. 
                        7. 
                            8. 

Expected result

It should render like this:

1. 
    1. 
        1. 
            1. 
                1.
                    1. 
                        1. 
                            1. 

Or, if I apply custom styling in the APA format, I should get something like:

I. 
    A. 
        1. 
            i.
                .

Actual result

Instead, the count continues on each indented line from the previous line.

I. 
    B. 
        3. 
            iv.
                .

Environment

  • Operating system: Mac Catalina
  • Obsidian version: 0.6.4
  • Using custom CSS: Yes, but it doesn’t function correctly because of the counter-reset or counter-increment issue.

Same issue here, same OS and Obsidian version as OP as well; using the Solarized Dark css-theme. This is a known issue though, related to a post from a few days ago linked here: The order number of child item in ordered list is wrong
