Description Joe Smith 2014-10-02 19:00:23 UTC 
Numbering or bullets added through the toolbar are very fast. Toggling the list formatting off by the same button is very much slower. For a large document with each paragraph numbered (30k paragraphs), it can take >30 minutes to complete. During this time, OO is completely unresponsive.

The same problem affects both numbering and bullets.

I see similar results adding/removing list formatting through a style: adding list formatting is much slower than using the toolbar. Removing the list formatting is faster than with the toolbar list but still takes many minutes.

Granted, this is an unusual situation but it seems more serious to me that an apparently simple operation can "lock" the application for such a long time.

If anyone is interested in this, I can provide a sample document or more specific instructions.
