Odd interaction between bullet lists and set tabs

1. offizieller Beitrag

    There is an odd interaction between bullet lists and set tabs in a WPTools editor. If a line has a tab set to one inch or less, and a bullet list is clicked on that line, the indent jumps to the tab setting instead of the standard bullet indent. This only occurs if the tab is set to one inch or less. The bullet list shouldn't care about any tab settings on the line, it should use its standard indent when bullets are clicked.

    Replication:
    1) In a new or existing document, place the cursor on a blank line
    2) Set a tab in the line at one inch or less
    3) Click the bullet icon
    4) Note the indent jumps to the tab setting

    We are currently using WPTools version 5.30.

    When you click on "bullet" in word it emediately creats a tabstop and and indents. The indents stored in the buller style are used for this. WPTools tries to mimik this behavior. It is also necessary that the files look alike when loaded by word. So a tabstop is used to mark the start of the regular text, and not the indent stored in the bullet style.
