Description Robert Wright 2017-11-07 21:11:45 UTC
Description:
Using Writer and working between my document and the Fields panel (CTRL+F2),  Type='Headings'. No filter selection.

I am inserting cross references within my document. 

If the last field insert was, for example, 4.6.3 and I then go to my document and do some more editing. 

I then want to insert another Heading cross reference. I mouse over the Fields panel Selection and use my mouse wheel to scroll up a few pages on the Selection. I then choose a new Heading, say 1.1.

The Selection reverts back to the previous selection window and chooses the equivalent place on that window.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.If the last field insert was, for example, 4.6.3 and I then go to my document and do some more editing. 
2.I then want to insert another Heading cross reference. I mouse over the Fields panel Selection and use my mouse wheel to scroll up a few pages on the Selection. I then choose a new Heading, say 1.1.


Actual Results:  
The Selection reverts back to the previous selection window and chooses the equivalent place on that window.

Expected Results:
Heading 1.1 to be selected


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Select heading 1.1

In your step 3 don't close the dialog.

I don't close the insert dialog between edits and moving around my document.

Ok, I tried like you said, but still no problem noticed.

I also tried with 5.4:

Interesting! It's very specific by the looks of it.

1. Open the document

2. Open the insert fields menu but don't click on any part of the insert fields menu

3. Select the document and go to page 53

4. Don't select the Fields pop-up

5. Mouse over the insert fields menu and use the mouse scroll bar to move the Selection field to say Chapter 4

6. Select Chapter 4 in the Selection field

7. I get 1.2.1 selected

Ahh, gotcha. Now I reproduce.

Dear Robert Wright,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa
