      Moodle 3.5 (Build 20180517)

      Steps to reproduce the problem:

      1. Goto Site administration > Courses > Manage courses and categories
      2. Observe that in the list of course categories, each list item has a bullet, where in previous version of Moodle there were no bullets. 

      In previous versions of Moodle, the bullets were hidden because each <ul> tag had a class of 'ml'.  A style rule with a selector of '#course-category-listing ul.ml' would match the <ul> tag, and apply a 'list-style: none;' property to the <ul> tag.

      In the current version of Moodle, each <ul> tag now has a class of 'ml-1'.  No style rule selector matches that, so the bullets appear.

      The PHP code responsible for giving the <ul> tag the class is in moodle/course/classes/management_renderer.php, in several places:

      • function category_listing()
      • function category_listitem()
      • function course_listing()
      • function search_listing()

      The problem happens regardless of what theme is applied.

      There are two options for fixing for the problem.

      1. Change management_renderer.php to revert back to giving the <ul> tags a class of 'ml' instead of 'ml-1'.
      2. Change the rule in the stylesheets to adapt to the new class of 'ml-1'.

      I do not know the reason why the class for these <ul> tags was changed, so I cannot suggest which option is preferable.
