Created attachment 186421 [details] Test file to demonstrate problem 1. Use "Edit Index Entry". 2. Select a text string in the document. 3. Click on "Update entry from selection" icon. Actual: "Apply to all similar texts" is activated. 4. Click on "Ok" Actual: Nothing happens. Expected: Either (a) “Update entry from selection“ is not shown for “Edit Index Entry“ (probably the "right answer"), or (b) that it is possible to insert an updated entry (and apply to similar texts). The attached document provides some index entries and some similar words, with instructions about how to experience the actual behavior. Probable resolution: 1. "Update entry from selection" icon should not be shown in the "Edit Index Entry" dialog. 2. The three options for text selection should not be shown. Also tested with 7.6.0.0.alpha0+

For me, it is not activated as in checked, but it does appear with some other checkboxes and kind of ruins the layout of the dialog. > 4. Click on "Ok" > > Actual: Nothing happens. Yes, clicking OK does nothing. The icon was added with b7060e96dfef8e672ae954eb435a9513400c4ea9 in the context of bug 87686. Heiko recently touched the .ui with 0f9226287fec770c4c9c0fe49b1d7046d995a3e9, so adding him for now.

“Update entry from selection“ refreshes the Entry field according the current selection (the dialog is amodal). There is no point in showing this option in edit mode. By hiding it we would solve bug 154209 probably as well.

Updating summary per comment 3
Open the document provided and locate the "Edit Index Entry" feature. Select a text string in the document as instructed. Look for the "Update entry from selection" icon and click on it. Check if the "Apply to all similar texts" option is activated. Click on "Ok" and observe the outcome. I got help from chatgbt while investigating this bug https://chatgbt.net
