I am having an odd behavior of the contents - The Chapteps/sections keep getting incremental values , like in the attached pictures. Also, I would like it to be
Chapter 1 1.1 .... 1.2 ....
rather than it is now
I am using
![\setcounter{totalnumber}{10}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{5}
\usepackage{blindtext}][1]

My initial impression is you are "skipping" one category of your class.
For example, the hierarchy of the report class goes:
\chapter
\section
\subsection
\subsubsection
If you use a subsection before a section then it is assumed to be 0.
