Tested in:

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
OS: MacOs Sierra
Version: 10.12.6

OpenOffice: Version 4.3.1
Release: Milestone AOO413m1 | Build ID 9783 | SVN r1761381 | Released
2016-10-12


I have reproduced the issue discussed here and compared the result on Microsoft
Office, Open Office and LibreOficce Vanilla (for Mac) and all have the same
behavior. What leads me to conclude that this is not a bug but an expected
behavior. 

Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing, I will outline the steps
to reproduce the “issue” and the result.

Steps to reproduce the issue on OpenOffice:

1. From a white document, click on the option called “Numbering On/Off” or in
the option “Bullets On/Off “ (visible on the options on the top panel) and turn
it on.
2. Create a list of a few bullets or numbers, lets say 5 for the purpose of
testing.
Example:
 1. Uno
 2. Dos
 3. Tres
 4. Quatro
 5. Cinco

3. Select the whole list with the mouse.
4. Click on the option “Table” (also visible in the top panel)
5. Here we will see that the list is now inside a table of one column. 
6. Next, with the cursor in any part of the table, right click, and select
“column insert“, and when the dialog box open, select to insert a column to the
left or the right (it doesn't make a difference for obtain the behavior)

Result:

We will have a table with two columns and 5 rows (lest say we inserted a column
to the left).
The text of our original list will still be in the column of the right, but the
numbers will now be distributed trough all the table. 

Meaning, something like this would be the result:

-----------------
|1. | 2. Uno    | 
|---|-----------|
|3. | 4. Dos    |
|---|-----------|
|5. | 6. Tres   | 
|---|-----------|
|7. | 8. Quatro |
|---|-----------|
|9. |10. Cinco  |
-----------------

The numbers will start from the left cell to the right, then down in the left
to the right and so on. 

Note: If you don't want the numbers or bullets of your original list
distributed on the columns of the table, you just have to select the hole
column (the one, or ones that you don't want the numbers be distributed, and
turn off the option “Numbering On/Off ” or “Bullets On/Off”). This works the
same for all these word processors.

Finally, I would recommend to close this issue since this behavior is not a
bug, but expected.
