Bullet Numbering Behavior

Drafting Account November 25, 2025

When creating a bullet list, I want to start a new Parent bullet by hitting return twice, but instead of creating the new Parent bullet, it continues creating Child bullets for infinity and the list cannot be stopped. I can delete all the bullets and go right to the end of the last Child bullet but no matter how many blanks I leave, it will not automatically create the next Parent bullet point. 

I suspect this has to do with copy/pasting text and trying to apply the bulleting format afterwards. To break the list, I have to stop the formatting, delete everything below the point where the problem occurs, then paste. Or, I can manually type all the information which is a bit unproductive. 

I've tried different combinations of the return key but nothing works until I just delete the text but I feel like I'm missing the real keystroke. Any other suggestions? 

Below are examples: 

1. Parent A
     a. Child A-1
     b. Child A-2
2. Parent B
     a. Child B-1
     b. Child B-2

But instead, this happens: 

1. Parent A
     a. Child A-1
     b. Child A-2
     c.
     d.
     e.
     f.
     g. Parent B
