The situation is the following 1) Create a new Master document 2) Go to Insert -> Text from file..., select file to insert, hit OK Results: Nothing happens Expected results: The contents of the selected file should have been added (imported) to Master document.
Well, I can confirm (using Ubuntu 18.04) that the top level menu Insert (then 'Text from file') does not do anything in versions 6.1 RC1, 6.0.5 and 5.4.7.2 If you insert text from file using the context menu or toolbutton in the navigator dialog that does work.
There is no open issue for this that I can find. From everything I read the only way to insert a file in a Master Document is through the navigator. So, Olivier, I think the summary should change and the bug is that the insert menu items should not be enabled in Master Document mode.
