I explicitly put this in. I thought it was what was wanted. You can indent
a whole list structure this way. ie
1.
2. | <--- cursor here
2.1
2.2
2.3
pressing indent moves everything 0.5 inches to the right.
I like this behaviour...
Maybe if the user selects a range containing the list, just the range gets
indented.

This should be fixed. I'll do it.

Thanks for the heads up on this Paul. It's easy to fix.
