Sample file to demonstrate the issue

Hi,

If you have entered a list or or select multiple paragraphs and convert them to a bullet list or add numbering Writer includes empty lines to bullet list or numbering.

MS Word has that feature and disregards empty lines in numbering/bullets.

It will be nice to have this smart feature in LibreOffice. (Small but annoying if you are editing long documents with lists etc.)

I've prepared a sample file.

To reproduce, just selct some lines/paragraphs and press numbering or bullets button in the toolbar.

Best regards,
Zeki

LibO 4.2.0.3 on Win7 : I confirm the behaviour, but I wouldn't qualify it neither Bug nor desirable Enhancement. Let me explain :
- the specification is simple here : "selected components are grouped in a list"; IMHO to be kept as simple,
- number of people use a blank line to separate paragraphs (or list items), forgetting that it is a full-featured component. The right feature should rather be to use paragraph spacing.
