In "Writer Manual, Chapter 1: Introducing Writer, Section: Rearranging chapters using the Navigator": "Click on the heading of the block of text that you want to move and drag the heading to a new location on the Navigator, ...". Either this sentence is wrong or this function does not work. Regards Harald Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.2.23) Gecko/20110920 Firefox/3.6.23
Hi again, This only works when the navigator shows headings only :-) Can you pls try that? Thanks - Cor
Created attachment 54546 [details] Test file. Description in comment.
Hi Cor again, sorry for delay of my answer, but there is a life besides LO. You are right again, when only headings are displayed moving of chapters is possible. I think this behavior is intended in order to avoid confusion if one tries to move items between different categories. Am I right? By testing the function I discovered some other problems: [1] When moving chapters I pressed the Ctrl button. A "+" is displayed at the mouse pointer, though only a move is performed. Just mentioned, but not really a problem. [2] If you undo a move of a chapter the navigator is not refreshed. You have to click into the document or double-click a heading in the Navigator in order to refresh it. [3] Then I tried some moves of chapters with a little document with four heading levels. I will attach this file to this bug report (Navigator Problem 3.odt). On the second page of the document you can find a short list of moves with problems. Perhaps you can check it. Regards Harald
reproduced on LibO 3.5.0 beta 2 on Fedora 64 bit > [1] When moving chapters I pressed the Ctrl button. ... It intended for drag and drop from Navigator into text. But now it not works. Insetrs empty sections. And it is not undoable. > [2] If you undo a move of a chapter the navigator is not refreshed. ... Reproduced only using button Undo on toolbar. Ctrl-Z not works (described in another bugreport). And if place cursor into text and press Ctrl-Z, part of text becomes selected. [3] Then I tried some moves of chapters with a little document ... Reproduced
Bug still exists in LO Ver. 3.6.3.
Hi Harald, Could you pls split this into two or three bugs? I think the easiest and most important is that the Help text is not exclusively clear, needs improvement! You may also want to create bugs about the confusing Ctrl-dragging and the not refreshing with undo. thanks, Cor

I already splitted this bug to 4 different bugs. Hence it is not necessary to pursue this bug any more. Hence status set to RESOLVED INVALID. Hoping that this is the correct status for this case.
