Description R. Green 2020-07-29 10:47:02 UTC

Created attachment 163733 [details]
Writer doc showing TOC issue.

Version: 6.4.4.2 (x64)
Build ID: 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

1. Open the attached writer file, right-click the TOC and chose "Edit Index".
2. Chose the Entries Tab and select Level 4. Make some changes if desired. Close the dialogue.
3. Reopen the "Edit Index" dialogue.

EXPECTED RESULT: The dialogue should open on the Entries tab at level 4.

ACTUAL RESULT: The dialogue opens correctly on the Entries tab but always defaults to Level 1.

I confirm it with

Version: 7.0.0.0.beta2 (x64)
Build ID: 1c213561a365b5666167321de68c9977500c9612
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

I consider this as a bug and change status to NEW, but I also add Design-Team for a further opinion.

Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2020-08-04 09:20:41 UTC

Yes, to remember the last user choice is desirable. But a minor issue in this special case. And rather an enhancement IMHO.
