Summary ======= If you put an "anchor element" (something, that you can cross reference) inside a section (mark->insert section) and then revert the action of inserting a section, all references to that anchor will become invalid. Reproduce ========== 1. Create a numbered element (e.g. a numbered list) 2. Create a cross reference to that numbered element 3. Select everything and execute `Insert`-> `Section...` -> `Ok` 4. (Everything gets put in a section) 5. Press Ctrl+Z to revert the inserted section 6. Mark everything and press F9 to refresh all references 7. ACTUAL: The references became invalid 7. EXPECTED: References don't change / don't become invalid The actual result is irreversible. All references are marked as "Error. Reference source not found". It's impossible to easily restore references except, if an older version of the document exists.

Dear DarkTrick, 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.

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.
