Description dragomang87 2015-07-04 14:40:22 UTC
Duplicate?:
Couldn't find a solution with google's help.
Here in Bugzilla, I searched for:
    righ-click cell index/table
    popup menu cell index/table
without success  

Preliminaries:
Create some text with some references (bibliography entries). Then create a table with some cells and inside a cell insert a bibliography.
(Cursor on protected areas is enabled)

Problem:
A right-click on the bibliography only pops up the cell menu and I cannot find an alternative way for updating the bibliography after changes.
Furthermore, any attempt to select the bibliography results in selecting the whole cell content.

Expected Behaviour:
Pop up only the bibliography menu (for editing, updating, deleting ...) or both menus. Or add the options in the top bar menus.

Trivia:
I am writing a Phd plan (thus the bibliography) in a .docx form (provided by the university) that uses tables. The plan was supposed to be written inside a cell and i was trying to keep the bibliography together with the plan inside the same cell, that's  how i encountered the problem.

Bad Workarounds:
Put the bibliography by itself on a separate cell. Then, to update, the cell can be deleted and the bibliography created again without affecting other parts.
For this to work the bibliography must be unprotected.

Reproducible.

Workarounds:
Open Navigator and right click on the index to update or edit.
Tools -> Update -> All Indexes and Tables.
