With version 6.0.6 the behaviour is different but also buggy.

The Navigate By function already exists in version 3.3.0. But how to seize this function has been changed during the different versions. This bug already exists in version 3.3.0. Thus inherited from OOo.
Comment 1 Dieter 2018-10-26 08:32:30 UTC
I confirm this with

Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha1+ (x64)
Build ID: 8274c4c62df5b937b3f0bec9e1eeca85f3b219d4
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win;

Sorry, I didn't see I was added to this one until after receiving the untouched bug notification.

Maybe this bug is caused by how outline nodes are organized in document model. Notice in the Navigator Headings are listed in the following order:

Header Heading
Footer Heading
Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 3

SwCursorShell::GotoNextOutline() and SwCursorShell::GotoPrevOutline() are places to start to look for a solution. These both lead to SwCursor::IsSelOvr which to me looks challenging.
Comment 5 Dieter 2021-09-06 18:35:57 UTC
Behaviour still the same in

Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 74d35e143d557a7e65c4443f5b80cb9d406b1fa1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

but now I think it is the regular search order of LO
1. Text area
2. Footnote
3. Header and Footer

So I think it's logic, that the "Navigate By" feature follows that search order. So for me NAB (if we don't want to change the search order in a document)

Dear Harald Koester,

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
