Description soffioalcuore 2019-03-11 11:29:48 UTC
Description:
I'm using LO fresh 6.2.1.2 on Antergos Linux with Gnome.

I would like to create a user-defined index with different levels, but when I create an index entry from a word in my text I can not define keys. the field is simply greyed out. I recognized that it doesn't work when I choose 'alphabetical index' from the index menu, too.

Whatever further options I choose I'm not able to define a key.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. type any word
2. select/mark what you have typed
3. go to insert - index - index entry
4. choose user-defined or alphabetical index from the menu above

Actual Results:
it's impossible to type anything into the key-field

Expected Results:
key fields should be active/enabled


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

I can't confirm this with

Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)

and also not with

Thanks, Dieter, for your response!

I have just tried it with the still-version you mentioned and also within windows 10, i. e.:

Version: 6.1.5.2 (x64)
Build-ID: 90f8dcf33c87b3705e78202e3df5142b201bd805
CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: threaded

what I can do here is add keys only when I'm creating an alphabetical index ("stichwortverzeichnis"). 
but, unfortunately, it's not possible to define keys when I choose to create a user-defined index.

can you confirm this on your side?

Caolán, I've seen, that you've fixed a similar problem with alphabetical indexes (bug 124455), so you might be interested in this issue also.

Comment 5 Caolán McNamara 2021-02-18 20:40:14 UTC
bug 124455 was where alphabetical ones used to work and regressed, but as far as I can tell there's never been support for keys in a user-defined index and SwIndexMarkPane::UpdateDialog explicitly only enables 1st key etc for an "Alphabetical Index"
