Hello, Their are several problems by using the Drag&Drop function of the Navigator inside Writer. Here are some steps to describe the problems: 1. Open a new document, insert a chapter (heading + some text), a table and a graphic and display the Navigator. 2. Open a second new document, insert a chapter (heading + some text), a table and a graphic and display the Navigator. 3. Try to Drag&Drop elements (here headings, tables and graphics) from one document to the other with the 3 possibilities of the Navigator (Hyperlink, Link, Copy). It always does not work, but it is OK, because the files have not been saved yet. A hint while trying would be nice here. Theoretical copying is possible at this time. 4. Save both files. 5. Choose D&D mode "Hyperlink". D&D elements between documents. Always Hyperlinks are inserted. Behavior as expected! 6. Choose D&D mode "Link". D&D elements between documents (Without Ctrl Button). Heading: Chapter with heading is inserted in a protected section. Behavior as expected. Table: An empty and protected section is inserted. BUG! Graphic: Does not work. Behavior as expected (see Manual). Both changes can not be undone. BUG! 7. Choose D&D mode "Link". D&D elements between documents (With Ctrl Button). Heading, Table: Hyperlinks are inserted. BUG! Graphic: Does not work. Behavior as expected. 8. Choose D&D mode "Copy". D&D elements between documents (Without Ctrl Button). Heading: Chapter is inserted in an unprotected section. OK. Table: An empty and unprotected section is inserted. BUG! Graphics: Does not work. Behavior as expected. Both changes can not be undone. BUG! 9. Choose D&D mode "Copy". D&D elements between documents (With Ctrl Button). Heading, Table: Hyperlinks are inserted. BUG! Graphic: Does not work. Behavior as expected. I expect that their are similar problems with other items of the Navigator list, but I did not check them. The whole thing is a little bit confusing, but I hope that I described it correct and you will understand my description.

Hi again, After checking my comments with previous issues, could you please be so kind to rwerite this bug to - if needed - various single items issues, preferably easy to reproduce ? (try to look at the # of unconfirmed etc. issues - you really help the QY people by making descriptions as clear and simple as possible :-) ) Thanks a lot - Cor
Hello Cor, I have tried to split the different problems into some easy (hopefully) reproducable cases. Here they are: Case (1a): [1] Open a new document and insert a chapter, that means a heading and some text. [2] Open a second new document and insert a chapter (heading and some text). [3] Save both files, but don't close them. [4] Open the Navigator for both files and display all categories. [5] Chose Drag & Drop mode "Insert as Link" for both files. [6] Display the Navigator list of the inactive document by choosing it at the bottom line of the Navigator. [7] Drag the chapter of the inactive document from the Navigator while pressing the Ctrl-Button into the active document and drop it. Though the Drag and Drop mode is set to "Insert as Link", a hyperlink is inserted. I would expect that either nothing happens or a "Insert as link" is performed. Case (1b): Perform steps [1] to [4] according Case (1a). [5] Chose Drag & Drop mode "Insert as Copy" for both files. [6] Display the Navigator list of the inactive document by choosing it at the bottom line of the Navigator. [7] While pressing the Ctrl-Button drag the chapter of the inactive document from the Navigator into the active document and drop it. Though the Drag and Drop mode is set to "Insert as Copy", a hyperlink is inserted. I would expect that either nothing happens or a protected section is inserted with the chapter inside. Case (1c): Perform steps [1] to [6] according Case (1a). [7] Drag the chapter of the inactive document from the Navigator into the active document and drop it. This works as expected, but undoing either by the menu or by the icon of the toolbar is not possible. Additional information: Also undoing does not work with the mode "Insert as Copy", while an undoing with the mode "Insert as Hyperlink" works as expected. Case (2a): [1] Open a new document and insert a table. [2] Open a second new document and insert a table. [3] Save both files, but don't close them. [4] Open the Navigator for both files and display all categories. [5] Chose Drag & Drop mode "Insert as Link" for both files. [6] Display the Navigator list of the inactive document by choosing it at the bottom line of the Navigator. [7] Drag the table of the inactive document from the Navigator into the active document and drop it. Only an empty section (protected) is inserted. I expected an insertion of a protected section with the table inside. Also it is not possible to undo this insertion. Case (2b): Perform steps [1] to [6] according Case (2a). [7] While pressing the Ctrl-button drag the table of the inactive document from the Navigator into the active document and drop it. Though the Drag and Drop mode is set to "Insert as Link", a hyperlink is inserted. I expected that either nothing happens or a "Insert as link" is performed. Case (2c): Perform steps [1] to [4] according Case (2a). [5] Chose Drag & Drop mode "Insert as Copy" for both files. [6] Display the Navigator list of the inactive document by choosing it at the bottom line of the Navigator. [7] Drag the table of the inactive document from the Navigator into the active document and drop it. Only an empty section (unprotected) is inserted. I expected an insertion of an unprotected section with a table inside. Also it is not possible to undo the insertion. Regards Harald
reproduced on LibO 3.5.0 beta 1 on Fedora 64 bit Let we begin from solving one problem (Undo not works) and then solve remaining Steps to reproduce, copy-pasted from original: [1] Open a new document and insert a chapter, that means a heading and some text. [2] Open a second new document and insert a chapter (heading and some text). [3] Save both files, but don't close them. [4] Open the Navigator for both files and display all categories. [5] Chose Drag & Drop mode "Insert as Link" for both files. [6] Display the Navigator list of the inactive document by choosing it at the bottom line of the Navigator. [7] Drag the chapter of the inactive document from the Navigator into the active document and drop it. This works as expected, but undoing either by the menu or by the icon of the toolbar is not possible. Undo disappears even if before inserting made another changes. All becomes not undoable.
Still [Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.6.1.1 German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 4db6344] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit): 0. download / open Attachment 65943 [details] of "Bug 52287 - Two Drag Modes in the Navigator don't work ("Insert as link" and "Insert as copy")" 1. Proceed as per Bug 52287 to drag the sections below the headings on page 2, But to "As Hyperlik" as last Expected: Undo button becomes active after Drag Actual: only drag "As Link" can be undone, other ones not. Not only icon is affected, also not undo from Edit menu possible. Also not possible with AOOo, so probably inherited from OOo? Further research showed that that's a very old OOo bug (reported 2004): "Bug AOOo#26981 - Inserting linked sections kills Undo function" Even worse: the Undo stack will be deleted by Drag "As Link" and "As Copy". To check that Proceed as per Bug 52287 and start with "Insert Hyperlink" (Undo icon becomes active), then drag as copy (Undo icon becomes IN-active) I did a quick test with Calc, seems not to be affected. @Michael Please set Status to ASSIGNED and add yourself to "Assigned To" if you accept this Bug or forward the Bug if it's not your turf.

All buggy cases listed in comment 2 (1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, 2c) still exist. Also the undo stack is still deleted as described in comment 4. Hence the bug is not resolved. Checked with LO version 4.3.5, Win 7.
Attached a test document for step 1 as it makes it a lot easier to triage the issue.

Bug still exists in version 5.3.0 (Win7).
Undo stack is deleted after Drag from Navigator in "Hyperlink" mode and within the same document too. 1. Open a document. 2. Create a heading. 3. Drag the heading from the Navigator to the document. 4. Undo button is greyed out.
Update: this bug is happening for me in version 5.3.2.2 only with the option "SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3", which I need in order for LibreOffice to display correctly.
