Docs is not creating hanging indents

Reported by fred.ran...@woninstitute.edu, Oct 23

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 11021.51.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.69 Safari/537.36
Platform: Hanging Indent proglem

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. find a document with lots of typing/paragraphs
2. select area for hanging indent
3. docs grabs adjoining areas and doesn't only apply hanging indent to selected text

What is the expected behavior?
the selected text ONLY creates a hanging indent.

What went wrong?
Docs moves other text and incorrectly creates a hanging indent outside of the selected text

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 70.0.3538.69  Channel: beta

This screenshot I'm providing is from a document that has had all formatting removed.  So, It can't be a formatting conflict issue.  I've tried on other document, and it doesn't work.  This is a very vital function of docs that needs to work for us. I see other's reports of hanging indents, but it looks like they relate to word being used.

Here is a screen shot of what I selected and how it looked before I tried to apply the hanging indent.

Does this happen in other browsers like FireFox or Edge? I presume it does and this isn't a Chrome bug but a docs bug right?

good question, but I don't know. We only use chrome books with chrome browser. I haven't accessed from any other browser. It still does it. 

It also does it with simple indents, not just hanging indents. It will grab other surrounding areas of the document, very randomly, and indent them also. The only work around is to add a hard return before and after the section I want to indent. Then remove the hard returns once it is indent. A royal pain in the ass. indent is a basic function of document editing. If our tech people didn't force Google suite on us, I would scrap the whole thing. So many basic editing issues like this that create so much frustration for our whole team.
