Created attachment 140281 [details] The Title numbering dialog box
The Problem is observed in ALL textboxes where special character can be inserted, Except (this maybe an incomplete list) -Print Preview (Page-number and Zoom text boxes)
I only checked chapter numbering. I found the described behaviour in Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: d64ce643275e0b2b0dea9e532fc261391dc8793c CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-03-01_03:24:30 Locale: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: CL but not in Version: 5.4.5.1 (x64) Build-ID: 79c9829dd5d8054ec39a82dc51cd9eff340dbee8 CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 6.19; UI-Render: Standard; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: group
Since this behavior is observed in multiple places where special characters can be inserted and as Dieter Praas mentions this is not observed in older versions, The problem probably has something to with the new "Insert Character Dialog" introduced in Version 6.
