    My client just messaged me and said he can’t get bullet points in text blocks to indent. This just started happening since the last update. If you hit the tab button on a bullet point, it shifts focus to the font size dropdown box instead of indenting the bullet. The manual indent buttons don’t work either. They do the same thing as hitting the tab key.

    If I create a new text block at the bottom of the page and paste the bulleted text into it, the tab key works correctly and the bullet is indented. But if I drag that text block into ANY column block, I’m unable to indent a bullet point.

    Additionally, if I make a copy of the text block with the bullets and move it out of the column block, it still doesn’t work. I’m unable to indent bullet points.
    As a work around, I told my client to copy and paste a bullet that’s at the correct indentation and change the text. That appears to work.

    Here’s a link to one of the pages, but none of them are working now:

    Bowling Leagues

    I also checked the source and there doesn’t appear to be any funky html in it. I removed the text-decoration tag, but that didn’t have an affect:

    <h3><span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>2019-2020 RMBL Bowling League Details</span></h3>

    Can you give us temporary admin access to your website in the private content box below, so that we can have a closer look?

    Hi jstonestreet,

    https://cl.ly/e3fbff2d9acd Here is what I am seeing. Which bullets do you need indented?

    Best regards,

    I linked one of the pages in the private content that isn’t working. If you hit enter after a bullet and then tab to indent, you’ll see what’s happening. I’m using Chrome on a Mac and my client uses a Surface Pro. Bullets aren’t working for either of us under the circumstances described in the OP. Thanks for taking a look at this!

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    “Tab to indent” is not available in the WordPress editor by default. You have to install a plugin for that. And auto indent can only be done in the first level of the ul/ol elements. It will not automatically create indents for nested ul or list elements. You can always switch to “Text” mode when you need to create nested lists.

    // https://wordpress.org/plugins/tabs-in-post-editor/

    You can confirm that by switching to a default theme and use the classic/block editor.

    This response doesn’t make sense because it works correctly when the text block is not inside a column as per my original post. It also worked correctly until the latest theme update.

    Hey!

    This just started happening since the last update. If you hit the tab button on a bullet point,

    Your client is probably expecting the [TAB] key to create an indent or multiple spaces just like it does on common text editors. You can’t do a “tab indent” in the WordPress editor. Please try to switch to a default theme, create a post using the default editor and press the [TAB]. It won’t work. The [TAB] key is use to navigate through every interactive elements in the page — buttons, links, field etc. If you want to create an indent for the list element, you have to press ]ENTER] key, not [TAB].

    If you want to do an indent to a paragraph or text, use the increase indent icon in the text editor toolbar.

    Hey!

    UPDATE: Tab indent actually works or is possible when creating a bulleted list. Sorry about that. I was trying to do a tab indent on a normal paragraph. We’ll look into this further and let you know if we find anything.

    Thanks for the update! BTW – the indent buttons in the toolbar don’t work on the bullets in this scenario either. That’s the really odd thing.

    Hi,

    Yes, it’s quite odd. It seems to happen whenever the text block is moved. It’s fine when the text block remains in the same position. We have reported the issue to the team.

    Thank you for the update.

    Best regards,

    Thanks! Any idea how long it will take to fix?
