Firstly, when using numbering of the style (i), (ii), (iii) etc, the indentations are wrong. The third line (and often the fourth and sixth) always has a greater indentation than the other lines. The numbers are aligned vertically, but the text is not. It is approximately one TAB further. This error does not manifest itself with other numbering styles such as 1., 2., 3. or a), b), c) etc.

Secondly, when typing "a.", "(a)" or "a)" (without quotes), typing some text and then hitting Enter, the next line does not become "b.", "(b)" or "b)" respectively. Correct numbering can be performed by using another numbering style and then changing it via the Bullets and Numbering toolbar, but it is an inelegant solution. All other common numbering styles work fine, though the options in the Bullets and Numbering toolbar do not include such common styles as a., b., c. and (i), (ii), (iii) etc.
