Even when using a regular cloze template (with only cosmetic modifications), when a cloze spans multiple lines of a bulleted list, and within those lines the lowest line is more right indented than the previous one, then the subsequent lines following the cloze deletion are inappropriately left indented on the front side of the card. See below:

Notice how line 11 is inappropriately left indented beyond lines 1, 2, 3, 7, and 8 because line 10 is hidden.

I suspect this is secondary to how Anki handles clozes and bulleted lists. It may be something that requires a deeper solution, but I was curious if anyone knew of a simple fix.

Thank you.

I’m afraid this is a limitation of the way cloze deletion is implemented, and is not easy to fix.

That’s what I was afraid of. Thank you!
