I confirm the bug. It also happens for *Show variable*. My quick and dirty experiment could not determine if only a single stance of 1. click outside dialog in the document window 2. click back in dialog was enough to fix the disabled Insert button or if the stance was needed every time an insertion was desired. Here: Fedora 41, KDE Plasma desktop (VCK kf6+cairo), LO 24.8.4.2
Confirm also with Version: 25.2.0.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ddb2a7ea3a8857aae619555f1a8743e430e146c9 CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
