Created attachment 110951 [details] example See empty reference in the attached document. Cursor is displayed before empty reference rather than after it even though it requires backspace to delete it. Cursor should be after empty reference.
Well we can delete it with the delete button, too.
Created attachment 117367 [details] example 2 Preconditions: Turn Non-printing Characters on. Turn Field Shadings on. 1. Open example 2 attachment. 2. Tools → Outline Numbering → Change Level 1 Number to “None”. 3. Place cursor after empty cross reference in the first example. Result: Cursor is before reference. 4. Press Backspace. Result: Reference is deleted. 5. Undo deletion. 6. Place cursor after empty cross reference in the first example. Arrow left once and now it is really in front of the reference. 7. Place cursor after empty cross reference in the second example. Result: Cursor is before reference and field shading extends over space before reference. 8. Click on the empty cross reference in the third example. Result: Cursor is moved to the chapter heading “Yet Another Chapter”. Having the period (probably anything) after the empty reference probably allows this to happen. 9. Hover over each empty field. Result: Tooltips display for the first and third field. While all of this is inconsistent behaviour, I do not think there is much of a bug because empty cross references are only ever going to be a temporary state. The user might decide against outline numbering so turns it off and then adjusts the fields to point to the headings instead of numbered paragraphs. The only issue is when the user tries to delete the empty field in the table cell. If the cursor is placed after the field even though it is displayed in front of the field then pressing Delete will (correctly) not delete it.
