Additional comments
I like having an always-on symbol to indicate parent items with collapsed children. I very much dislike when they disappear. But I also dislike number mode. For now I will live with the numbers, as they are less objectionable than losing the symbol.
In article view, most symbols are eliminated to make it look more like an āarticleā. Even if not numbered, you canāt tell if an item has child items, if you donāt hover it.
When you hover the item, the collapsed parent symbol should still show up, right?
Right. Ok. Well if itās on purpose I guess itās not a bug. I canāt think of why someone would want no way to tell there is collapsed stuff hiding in plain sight though. Maybe they cope with it by manually setting parent items to a different font or something. Well thanks for explaining.
If they want to tell things apart, should have used the List View. My point was just that if list items had symbols and bullet points, it doesnāt look like Article View any more.
You can always compensate this with custom CSS, by the way, now that we have custom CSS
