Summary: Bookmarks deleted by undo sort (EDITING)
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.4 release

Demo of undesired deletion of bookmarks
PREAMBLE:
The attached document is a very simple specimen "academic paper" in which
references (to other papers), indicated by numbers in square brackets, are
resolved in a Table at the end of the document.
The author's intention is (i) to create references in arbitrary order, as they
occur when writing the document. Just before publication, the references are
to be sorted (ii) into alphabetical order of lead author. The Table of
References is to be automatically renumbered (iii), and the references in the
text of the document are to be renumbered accordingly (iv). This is a
reasonable and standard requirement in writing such a document.
Each reference in the Table of References is indexed by a Field of type Number
Range. This is in order to facilitate the renumbering of references at step
(iii) above. For each reference in the Table, the reference number is
bookmarked. The bookmark is used to insert the reference number into the main
text of the document.
Just before publication, the author selects the entire Table (Table, Select
table) and sorts in on column 2. Selecting the first column of the table, and
updating the fields (<F9>, or Tools, Update Fields), causes the desired
renumbering both in the Table and the main text of the document.
So far, so good.
THE BUG:
If the author then selects Edit, Undo sort table, all the bookmarks are lost.
CONSEQUENCES:
These are likely to be severe. This technique is typically used in long and
complex documents with a large number of references. The impact would be felt
close to a publication deadline, and the information loss incurred would make
recovery difficult.
