Description Robert Großkopf 2023-01-18 09:49:39 UTC 
Created attachment 184742 [details]
Open the document. Try to add content directly after reference. Works first, fails second time.

If I set a reference (Insert → Field → More Fields → Cross-references → Set reference) at the end of the entered text or if I set the cursor directly behind a reference, then the content is expanded when typing new content.
 
For newly opened documents, only directly after opening the document is it possible to enter text without expanding a reference. On the second try, all references are expanded as soon as I place the cursor at the reference. So I have no sure chance to continue writing if there is a reference at the end of a text.

Try the attached document.
Set cursor directly after a reference and type.
If you just opened the document it will work one time. So delete the new typed character and type again.
Now the value of the cross reference will be expanded if cursor is set directly after the cross reference.

Detected this behavior under OpenSUSE 15.3 64bit rpm Linux,
Version: 7.4.4.2 / LibreOffice Community

also LO 7.5.0.2

Have tested a little bit more:
Behavior is the same when starting in Safe Mode.
Behavior is the same with every LO-version I have installed here, oldest is LO 5.1.5.2 So might be an old bug, introduced by OOo … Set this to the oldest version I have installed.

@Robert, rather seems a dupe of bug 81720 (and dupes)?

You are right. Seems to be a duplicate.
