Numbered list - sub bullet numbering issue in editor

Indenting on a numbered list in the editor keeps counting up instead of resetting. For example

1. testing

        2. testing

3. testing

        4. testing

 

when preview shows it (the correct way):

1. testing

        1. testing

2. testing

        1. testing

  Depending on which mechanism you use for indenting, nvUltra may or may not be able to update the numbering.

  
  1. If you indent/outdent/move a line using the Edit->Move Selected Text menu items, renumbering occurs.  If you insert or delete a tab character manually, it does not.

  2. The numbering in the source text doesn't actually matter.  When converted (to HTML or any other format), the numbering is always correct.

  3. If you want to renumber the lists, you can toggle from enumerated to bulleted, and then back again.  That forces a complete renumbering of that list level and any sublevels.

  4. I am looking at ways to renumber lists when changes are made via alternate mechanisms, but also trying to do it in a way that isn't over-aggressive about CPU use (for example, renumbering every list in the document with every keystroke would be perfectly accurate, but clearly a waste of cycles.)
