ListMarkerFormat indent bug?

Question

Hello,
I'm having trouble working with lists, tabs and indents.
Below the testcode I'm using:
* @author  Stefan van Dinther
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.TextLayoutFormat;
import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.ParagraphElement;
    import flashx.textLayout.elements.SpanElement;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.ListElement;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.ListItemElement;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.ListMarkerFormat;
import flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.TabStopFormat;
public class ListTest3 extends Sprite
  public function ListTest3() {
   var textFlow:TextFlow = new TextFlow();
   var list:ListElement = new ListElement()
   list.listStyleType = "decimal";
   list.listStylePosition = "inside";
   list.paddingLeft = 0;
   var listMarkerFormat = new ListMarkerFormat();
   var tabStops = new Array();
   var tabstop = new TabStopFormat();
   tabstop.position = 70;
   var tabstop2 = new TabStopFormat();
   tabstop2.position = 180;
   tabStops.push(tabstop);
   tabStops.push(tabstop2);
   listMarkerFormat.tabStops = tabStops;
   listMarkerFormat.beforeContent = "- ";
   listMarkerFormat.afterContent = String.fromCharCode(0x9);
   var item:ListItemElement;
   item = new ListItemElement();
   item.listMarkerFormat = listMarkerFormat;
   var paragraphElement = new ParagraphElement();
   var spanElement = new SpanElement();
   spanElement.text = "Text starts here";
   paragraphElement.addChild(spanElement);
   item.addChild(paragraphElement);
   list.addChild(item);
   textFlow.addChild(list);
   var cs:Sprite = new Sprite();
   cs.x = 0;
   cs.y = 0;
   textFlow.flowComposer.addController(new ContainerController(cs, 400, 200));
   textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
   addChild(cs);

Hello Richard,
I've found a workaround for the bug:
package
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;
import flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.ListElement;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.ListItemElement;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.ParagraphElement;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.SpanElement;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.ListMarkerFormat;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.TabStopFormat;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.TextLayoutFormat;
public class Test extends Sprite
public function Test() {
var textFlow:TextFlow = new TextFlow();
var list:ListElement = new ListElement()
list.listStyleType = "decimal";
list.listStylePosition = "inside";
list.paddingLeft = 0;
var listMarkerFormat:ListMarkerFormat = new ListMarkerFormat();
var tabStops:Array = new Array();
var tabstop:TabStopFormat = new TabStopFormat();
tabstop.position = 60;
tabStops.push(tabstop);
listMarkerFormat.tabStops = tabStops;
listMarkerFormat.beforeContent = "- ";
listMarkerFormat.afterContent = String.fromCharCode(0x9);
var textLayoutFormat:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
textLayoutFormat.paragraphStartIndent = 30;
textLayoutFormat.textIndent = -30;
var item:ListItemElement;
item = new ListItemElement();
item.listMarkerFormat = listMarkerFormat;
var paragraphElement:ParagraphElement = new ParagraphElement();
paragraphElement.format = textLayoutFormat;
var spanElement:SpanElement = new SpanElement();
spanElement.text = "Text starts here. Text starts here. Text starts here. Text starts here. Text starts here. Text starts here. Text starts here. Text starts here. Text starts here. Text starts here. Text starts here. Text starts here. Text starts here. Text starts here. ";
paragraphElement.addChild(spanElement);
item.addChild(paragraphElement);
list.addChild(item);
textFlow.addChild(list);
var cs:Sprite = new Sprite();
cs.x = 0;
cs.y = 0;
textFlow.flowComposer.addController(new ContainerController(cs, 400, 200));
textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
addChild(cs);
Which gets what I want:
The workaround is this:
tabstop.position = 60;      (Which should be 30, but now i've added the paragraphStartIndent to the tabstop);
Another bug might be this:
if you remove the line:
//textLayoutFormat.paragraphStartIndent = 30;
(so only the textIndent of -30)
You lose the number 1:
