Description Marius 2012-04-17 15:52:54 UTC
Problem description: 
The names/descriptions of the items included in the Selection list in the cross-references interface are incomplete or totally blank making the interface almoust unusable making it very difficult to identify properly the objects.
 
Steps to reproduce:
1. make a table
2. make a caption to the table 
3. go to Insert->Cross References->Tables.

Current behavior:
Depending how you defined your caption you will see the followings in the Selection window:

a) an empty line if you choose to make your caption in such a way that the Caption Order to be " Numbering first"
or
b) a truncated line (the first letter is truncated) wich contain only the category and number of the respective table
if you choose that the Caption Order to be " Category first"

I didn't test for other categories.

Expected behavior:
In order to be easy to choose items in the Selection windows we need the Category, Name and Caption Text. Without that the whole cross-reference system is useless.
