Indented bullet lists seem not to always work.

Description

When I create a short post in WLW using indented bullets, the seem to work fine.

But I recently wrote an 1025-word article in WLW and published it to a book on my site. All indented (second-level) bullets were UN-indented, or in other words, promoted to first level bullets. I am attaching two screenshots showing this behavior.

More oddly, when I attempted to edit the article directly via the wysiwyg module, the indent buttons simply did not work. If I backspaced at the beginning of the bulleted text (removing the bullet) then hit return again, I lost subsequent bullets! This last behavior is probably not the fault of the WLW module, but I mention it for completeness.

(PS: thank you for the WLW module!)

I guess I should note, by the time you read this issue, the text in my linked article might well change, I may even find a workaround that allows me to fix the indents. So I probably shouldn't have linked it; the screenshots are enough to show the issue.

I did find a workaround. If I go to the page on the Drupal site, click edit, then click the 'disable rich text' link, then (without making any edits at all) click on the 'enable rich text' link, the bullets get fixed.

I have no idea why this works!
