I really appreciate your follow-up on this. In my view, no manual changes to an Insert Index Entry dialog should be discarded until the user clicks Insert or Cancel or Close. (Cancel would have to be a new button.) There are certainly more functionalities that could be added to the dialog -- for example, settings that allow the user to choose default field population behavior (blank, static/previous, auto), and controls for quickly manipulating individual field contents in individual entries (blank, previous, auto, undo, redo) -- but these ideas are best submitted as a feature or enhancement request. I haven't thought it through, nor have I studied other indexing systems, but there may be a good case for combining the Insert Index Entry and Edit Index Entry dialogs in a single dialog. The important thing for now is to stop discarding manually entered indexing data just because the dialog box has lost and regained focus before the entry is inserted. Leaving the dialog box temporarily to double-check or copy something happens *all the time* when you're indexing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
