 Just played with lists more extensively. Here are bugreports on it:

List dialog:

* Should be adapted to any font size and style.
* Popping it up, selecting "numbered" style and pressing apply adds or removes
        dots after digits in preview (thus shifting "block of text" on preview
        right and left). Interestingly, selecting bulleted style, and pressing
        apply repeatedly also moves "blocks of text" (list item bodies) left
        and right on preview.

 Working with lists:
* It's possible to position the cursor before and right after the "bullet".
 IMO it's very confusing. We should allow deleting the bullet as Word does -
  by pressing BS when in the leftmost position. When doing this in AW, assert
  fails sometimes.
* It's possible to copy bullet to clipboard. For some reason it's impossible
  to paste it :)
* Copying text with lists to clipboard, and pasting it to some other app (e.g.
  Gedit) pastes nothing at all.

 All this makes working with lists very confusing IMO.

 Best regards,
