Steps to reproduce the problem: 1- From a Writer document, Tools → Bibliography database 2- Pick an entry on the database and drag & drop it to a Writer document 3- Select some fields like Author, etc. from the menu that opens Result: no matter what you choose for "Insert data as" (table, fields or text) no information is actually inserted. Note that if you Drag & drop from the "Data sources" panel (F4) instead, the fields are inserted without problem.

there are 2 bugs here: 1) the content of the database is not inserted this broke a long time ago, it works in 3.5.7.2 but 3.6.4 is already broken (unfortunately my own 3.6.x builds refuse to start on Fedora 24) 2) if you check the "Insert table heading" then only an empty header is inserted in particular clicking the "insert table heading" leaves both of the next radio button unchecked - this is fixed quite easily bibisect range for 1) is bf12ddb08f60aa261f83e1688c5d589a69eea0dd..32b61ed8931acd97e488bc73486244c385a3a974
oops, i should be more careful when bisecting because i'm doing it wrong: commit c9af2604214a1bff261ced86343eb32de5f18443 Author: Italo Vignoli <italo@italovignoli.com> AuthorDate: Fri Mar 9 15:07:02 2012 +0000 Resolves: fdo#45033 use LibreOffice references in bibliography that commit changed the bibliography database itself in LO 3.6, which previously contained 59 entries but now contains only 20. the bug is that the index of the row that is being inserted is ~33 larger than the row that was dragged, which means that with a 59 entry database i see data being inserted, it's just the wrong data! so LO 3.5 *also* has the same bug... was broken in OOo 3.3 already, it worked in OOo 3.2.1
fixed on master
