Title:
cross-reference to footnote doesn't update footnote number when
changed
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
LO version: 4.2.6.3
Ubuntu version: 14.04
Here's my problem:
Suppose I have three footnotes. I want footnote 3 to refer back to footnote
1. I go to Insert > Cross-reference > Reference, and it duly prints 1. Clicking
it sends me back to footnote 1. All fine. Now I add a footnote before footnote
1. The erstwhile footnote 1 is now footnote 2. But the number printed in the
now footnote 4 still says 1, though clicking it sends me to the now footnote 2.
This is unexpected because, like other fields like page number, you would
expect cross-reference fields to update automatically. I have to click Update
All Fields to update it.
I've attached a document highlighting the problem. Footnote 4 refers
to footnote 2 but has printed 1. That's because I added a footnote
after the preceding sentence. Please let me know if you need more
information.
EDIT: It bears mentioning that Update All Fields only works if the
file format is odt. It does not work with doc files, though I think
that may be because clicking on cross-references in doc files doesn't
work and attempting to delete them throws up "readonly content cannot
be changed".
