Multi-level lists get split into smaller ones

[Jakub Ś]

1. Open Ajax sample
2. Paste the list from the attached file
3. See that it gets split into several smaller lists.

This worked till version 3.5.2 for all browsers except Firefox (3.6 and 4). From version 3.5.3 rev [6616] list gets split in all browsers (except FF3.6 as it never worked and will work there).

It's caused by flipped "mso-list" indicators on list items:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:18.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 *level2* lfo1;
tab-stops:list 18.0pt">item2</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 *level1* lfo2;
tab-stops:list 36.0pt">item21</p>

We need to investigate how this invalid structure is composed in Word which doesn't looks like an ordinary case.

I have added new file with description how this list was created.

During reproduction I have found another problem. It is reported here #8103

Fixed with new Paste From Word plugin in 4.6.0.

This issue is not properly fixed. Tested again on nightly for 4.6 List indentation does not show properly after paste. Pls re-open this defect

@satya - while the file from list doc really produces the problem, I haven't been able to re-create such list and get the same result.

I was creating nested lists in Word using increase indent or tab, increasing indent on whole list and changing the list type. Visually list looked the same like in the example but it never produced any errors. Looking at the clipboard HTML the levels were also ok and not like it was mentioned in comment:3 for the original list.

Also this particular list produces problems in other editors. Namely there are two lists pasted.

I think that list from that file was a special case. Are you able to reproduce the problem creating list from scratch. I yes, could you provide sample docx file and tell me how have you created such list?
