I would like to add a bit more information about this ticket. I think the underlining issue is how Impress responds to the tab/shift + tab short cut key in different layouts, specifically: - Title slide (which includes a title box and a text box underneath it) - Title, content (which includes a title box and a content box underneath it) - Centered text (a large text box) When user creates a presentation with multiple slides, the 1st slide will use the "title slide" layout and "title, content" layout will be used for the rest slides by default. Using "title slide" or "centered text" layout, when user presses tab/shift + tab keys on a bullet line, it simply indents or un-indents the line. However, if we use the "title, content" layout, pressing tab/shift + tab keys will move the bullet line down or up a bullet level respectively. The behavior of the shortcut keys should stay consistent, and should not be affected by the change in the layout of the page. This issue is observed in normal view.

The object "subtitle" is not able to have a true list. Please have a look at the numbering toolbar. The white arrows for moving items up and down and promote and demote are all disabled. Therefore the tab key cannot set a different level and therefore changes the indent. If you need a list, you have to use a slide layout, which has an "outline" object. So this is no bug. It might be considered as missing feature. But because a suitable layout exists and a different behavor of object "subtitle" would require deep changes in the code, I suggest to close the issue as "wontfix".
I only tried to replicate the issue on the Windows version of Impress. I have not tried on a linux os which was used by the original reporter as I don't have a linus os on my machine. Someone should confirm it again using the same OS before closing this ticket.
