Hello.

I'm sorry. From your video, I can now definitely tell I was actually referring
to Alphabetical Index, not Table of Contents. As stated before, my app is in
portuguese, thus I confused the name of the tool I was using. Someone might
need to update the title of this bug.

I see there's a similar video about Alphabetical Index from the same author
here: https://youtu.be/mZbjtIamDlU . That's what I was using.

Unfortunately I don't have that version of LibreOffice anymore as I reverted to
5.1.5.2 which doesn't present this error, but now I got the right tool name,
let me re-phrase the steps to reproduce and other info, below.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an Alphabetical Index.
2. Highlight some text, add it as an entry to the Alphabetical Index. That text
becomes highlighted grey. 
3. Update Alphabetical Index, the entries display normally. 
4. Save, close.
5. Re-open document. Alphabetical Index is untouched, but entries in text are
no longer highlighted gray. 
6. Update Alphabetical Index, all entries disappear.

Actual Results:  
Alphabetical Index empty irreversibly, useless.

Expected Results:
Alphabetical Index full of cool entries I created.

Additional Info:
Important clarification: I had wrongly stated before this bug applies to Tables
of Contents instead of Alphabetical Indexes. I was confused by the language of
the app. This bug applies to Alphabetical Indexes and NOT Tables of Contents.
Tables of Contents work fine on my end!
One strange behavior: upon trying to format Alphabetical Index by right
clicking it and selecting "Edit Index/Table", application would return an error
"idxexample.odt is in use", with three options: Open read-only, Open or Cancel.
If I Open or Cancel, the dialog opens "empty", just the header with the close
button and below it, a semi-transparent window with nothing on it. If I open
read-only, dialog works normally. I found idxexample.odt, changed permissions
to allow everyone and his brother to do whatever with the file. After this,
this error went away, but it didn't solve the issue with the entries of
Alphabetical Indexes disappearing.
