Scenario 2
I can confirm all observations with Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) Build ID: 99c337d1d3831ce9d2c7dc1cbff713f4ac49d6ac CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win; Locale: en-GB (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL => NEW But I'm not sure, what the expected behaviour should be. Let's ask Design-Team for further input here. Modifying cross-references is supposed to be done per Edit > Fields dialog, see [1]. Fields are variables and I don't see need for direct editing and would block it. Unfortunately Edit > Field is disabled for some reason. Any idea, Cor?

Any > idea, Cor? > > [1] > https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/swriter/guide/references_modify. > html I think you misunderstood my intention. I didn't wanna edit the fields inserted based on the cross reference. What I wanted to do is edit the original referenced text, so that it changes all the fields based on it. What edit fields does, is that it lets you change an inserted field (text based on reference for example). It works but only is enable if you click in front of the field (not the original text that is referenced) Interesting one :) So is my conclusion right, that as soon as the selection touches the limit of the defined reference field, that the reference is not extended if the text is changed? I'm tempted to suggest to look at how it works with text that has formatting as bold, italic. I would expect the same behavior in this case. Mike, can you shed some light on this issue? (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #9) No I can't; looks erratic. Erratic behavior is a bug. Cannot help from UX POV unless to support the expectation. |
