Created attachment 156756 [details] Dummy text plus alphabetical index Please open the attached writer file, which consists of some dummy text with an alphabetical index (blank) at the end. 1. Make sure the "Insert Index entry" dialogue is open (Insert > Table of Contents and Index > Index entry …). 2. Select the word "quiet" in the first sentence, say. Click on the "Update entry in selection" in the "Insert index entry" (IIE) dialogue; then press "Insert." 3. Now select a different word on the second page. In the IIE dialogue press "Insert." 4. Now update the alphabetical index by right-clicking on it and selecting "Update index." EXPECTED RESULT: In step 4, since the word "quiet" is still visible in the "Entry" field, the new word should also be entered as "quiet." The correct result should therefore be two entries, for different pages, under the SAME word, "quiet." ACTUAL RESULT: In step 4, the "Insert" command ignores the word in the "Entry" field and enters the selected word instead. This results in the INCORRECT addition of a second entry as a different term.
Erratum: Under "EXPECTED RESULT", should read, "In step 3 …".
I can't confirm it with Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: e26d89371f0e4f41476c9a99be01d98dedb76776 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18362; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded and also not with Version: 6.3.4.2 (x64) Build-ID: 60da17e045e08f1793c57c00ba83cdfce946d0aa CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: win; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE Calc: threaded Which version of LO do you use? Please paste informations from Help => About LibreOffice If it is not the actual version, please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
I have repeated the procedure and the bug is definately present with Version: 6.3.4.2 (x64) Build ID: 60da17e045e08f1793c57c00ba83cdfce946d0aa CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded E.g. If (using the above procedure) "quiet", on p. 1, is the first word added, and "waiting", on p. 2, is the second word added, the index should look like this: quiet ......................................... 1, 2 and NOT: quiet ............................................. 1 waiting ........................................... 2
Bug also confirmed in: Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha1 (x64) Build ID: cc57df8f942f239d29cb575ea5a7cb01405db787 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded
Not clear to me, if you have enabled "Apply to all similar texts" and "Match Case" in Insert Entry Dialog.
DP commented: "Not clear to me, if you have enabled "Apply to all similar texts" and "Match Case" in Insert Entry Dialog." The answer is NO, I haven't enabled them. BTW, this issue only occurs when the "Entry" field is exactly the same as the first word selected. If for example you repeat the procedure but this time add the word "steps" to "quiet" in step 1 (to give "quiet steps"), the bug does not occur. Instead you get quiet steps........................................... 1p. which is correct.
I've just had a look again to this bug, and now I understand it better and can confirm it with Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 1c9ced04189c9d23ffea05d5570960b54b05ef28 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: CL I'm not an expert with Alphabetical Index in Writer, but behaviour is not in line with LO help [1] and so I would consider this as a bug. cc: Design-Team to decide, if it is a bug in Writer or a wrong documentation

(In reply to Dieter from comment #7) > ... behaviour is not in > line with LO help [1] and so I would consider this as a bug. Me too. IIE dialog always take what is selected while the "Entry" field show the last updated term. It's not only unclear what term is used but also not possible to put another index term on the selected word (like "silent" for "quiet", to use the example). Clearly a bug, and I would raise the severity.
Version: 7.1.3.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 47f78053abe362b9384784d31a6e56f8511eb1c1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded I believe the following may be a variant of the same bug? 1. Open the same attached Writer file. 2. Select the words "quiet steps" in the first sentence. 3. Press "Update entry from selection" (in "Insert Index Entry"). You should now have the words "quiet steps" in the dialog box. 4. Select the first instance of "quiet", then press "Insert" (in "Insert Index Entry"). 5. Update the index. EXPECTED RESULT: The index entry should be "quiet steps" (the text in "Insert Index Entry"). ACTUAL RESULT: Only "quiet" has been entered in the index.
