Something I noticed a while ago, but which I forgot about, is that bullet styles can link in weird ways.

For example:

- I start a bullet list
- I indent a sub-list, and change the style from bullet to capital letters ( for the sub-list only
- I start a new paragraph in the default paragraph style following the list
- I start a new list following that paragraph ( in my usual list style )
- I indent a sub-list after one bullet point, which I keep as a bullet list style
- I create another top level bullet point after that sub-list bullet
- I create another sub-list after that bullet, but this time, it refuses to keep the bullet style, and instead switches to the capital letters
- If I manually change it to a bullet, then it does obey BUT it also changes the capital letter sub-lists from the previous list that has nothing to do with it, preceding the previous paragraph
- If I change that other sub-list back to capital letters, they force this new one to go back to capitals, even though the sub-list in between is unaffected and remains only as a bullet point in between

SO it looks like this:

- top level bullet point  
[list][\*]A - capital letter bullet point ( indented )
- B - another capital letter bullet point ( same indent )  
[/\*:m][/list:u]  
Back to regular paragraph
- New top level bullet point list  
[list][_]new sub-list using bullet style ( indented - unaffected style )  
[/_:m]  
[\*]Next top level bullet point in this new list
- A - linked sub-list, which will match the style of the capital sub-list, or force that list to change to whatever style this is ( same indent, but different style, linked to prior sub-list )  
[/\*:m][/list:u]

… this seems like a bizarre issue, but for some reason it has picked out the second sub-list, and linked it to the sub-list of the previous list prior to the intervening paragraph.
