Description Wilfried Koch 2018-09-13 10:03:51 UTC
The document consists of about 300 pages.
The chapters were numbered from 18 to 25 at that time the chapter oriented labelling was OK. Label for Pictures and tables were in the range from 18.1. to 25.x
Later numbering was changed to the range of 19 to 26. Labels of tables changed correctly now starting at  19.1 but labels of Pictures are still in the old range.

Adding new Pictures delivers the correct number at most places. But when inserting from section 26.1 and behind, numbers are missing.

Adding an additional (dummy) chapter and inserting Pictures there works fine.

The bug also only affects pictures e. g. not tables.

The error is in the big file mentioned above (ca. 25 MB). The problem could not be reproduced in small examples. I assume it is related to someof the rara crashes I experienced.

If yo need the big file please let me know.
 

Best regards 

Wilfried Koch

This is a short version of the critical document.
The Errors can be reproduced.

Abbildung 23.1: should be Abbildung 24.1. etc.
The figure in section 26.11 is missing the number - error!!
The figure in chapter 27 is labelled correctly.
The tables are labelled correctly.


I am not sure if the upload really worked

critical docoment - short version

In this document the error should be reproducible. It is a short version of the original document.

Abbildung 23.1: should be Abbildung 24.1.: etc.
The labelling in section 26.11. has no number. this is an error.
The figute in chapter 27 (Abbildung 27.1.:) is labelled correctly.
Tables are labelled correctly.
Comment 4 Dieter 2018-09-13 14:43:20 UTC
I think, the problem is more general:

1. Open attachment from comment 3
2. Mark filed "23.1" => Edit fields in context menu
3. Try to change Format or Level of numbering => no update of the field

Same result, if you use the menu (Format => Edit => Fields)

Comment 5 Wilfried Koch 2018-10-01 10:27:01 UTC
The bug seems to appear only with the category Abbildung. This by accident appears twice in my category list. I see no difference between the two category entries.
>>>How can the duplicate be deleted?<<<

Defining a new category Abb numbering works correct.


Why is the sttus still unconfirmed despite the message of Dieter Prass, dating from Sept 13?

You're right. I've just forgotten it?

Also reproduced in

Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha1+

Retested with

I still can't change original field, but it works to insert a new field:
1. Strg+F2 => Variables
2. Type = Number range | Select = Abbildung | Format = Arabic (Value is empty)

=> RESIÓLVED WOKRSFORME
Wilfried, feel free to change it back to NW with a short reasoning, if you disagree.

Additional information:
Better solution is to work with AutoCaptions (Tools => Options => LibreOffice Writer => AutoCaption
