Update indentation (number of spaces) when reordering a numbered list

Bug reports

When a list item has a nested paragraph, its indentation depends on the item’s number:

  • 3 spaces for items numbered 1-9.
  • 4 spaces for items numbered 10-99.

The editor doesn’t update the indentation when numbers change, causing a misalignment.

For example:

  • A nested paragraph under item 9 is correctly indented with 3 spaces:
    9. Item

   Nested paragraph
  • Adding a new item before 9 shifts it to 10, but the editor doesn’t update the indentation, causing a misalignment:
    9. New item
10. Item

   Nested paragraph (still 3 spaces, should be 4)

The nested paragraph under 10 should now be indented by 4 spaces but isn’t.

Please watch the demo below.

Is this another reason it’s better to use unnumbered lists?

Is it possible to enforce all the numbered lists to be like the following?

1.
1.
1.
1.
1.

so that we don’t need to worry about issues like this and also Reader doesn't render nested numbered list with more than 100 items

Thanks.

Right now, we don’t even do automatic renumbering properly.

The issue that you are highlighting is valid but low priority.
