Bug ID: 104014
Summary: Pasting indexes between documents with same indexes,
does not preserve the first one
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.3.2 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I have been using templates which list out my Indexes so I can copy/paste
between documents and the Indexes will be preserved.
This works well and is a great feature.
However there is one issue.
When I paste, say 5 items in an Index (Laws Index) the first item is not
preserved. The rest of the items (2-4) are preserved and show up in the Laws
Index when refreshed.
This happens whether I paste between two documents or within the same document.
When copying of pasting items that belong to multiple indexes (I have 3
separate Indexes) the first ones being lost need me to to actually delete all
items from Indexes, and recreate them manually. I use shortcut keys so goes a
little faster.
...
Additionally ...
I am also noticing that in LibreOffice 5.2.3.2-rc2 on Ubuntu 16.10
(Yakketty-Yak), [Build ID: 1:5.2.3~rc2-0ubuntu1~yakkety1] that hovering over a
Index item does NOT show by tooltip which Index the item belongs to.
This used to show by a ToolTip in LibreOffice-5.1.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. I copy and paste several Index entries from a document having the same
Indexes as another document as they are based on the same template having the
each of the same Indexes pre-defined. I have 3 different Indexes pre-defined.
But this also happens within same document.
2. Discussion below follows 5 Index Entries from one of the three (1 of 3)
Indexes being copied and pasted from one document to another. Or in same
document.
3. When I 'Edit Index Entry' the first entry pasted shows 'User-Index' and not
the Index Name.
4. The 2nd-5th ones do show up as being part of the Laws Index when I 'Edit
Index.'
5. Thus, when I refresh indexes all 2-5 items show up. Not 1st.
Actual Results:
When I copy and paste 5 Index Entries into second document (or in same
document) all 5 show up as being past of an Index as they have dark gray
highlight.
However when I Edit Index on the 1st one it shows up as being part of a
User-Defined Index.
The 2nd-5th one show up as being past of the Laws Index as should be.
When the Laws Index is refreshed the 2nd-5th ones show up, but not the 1st one.
When I hover over each one of the Indexes I do not see the Indexes they are
part of anymore, but I did use to see under LibreOffice-5.1 in Ubuntu.
Including the one that is now set as User-Defined Index.
Expected Results:
The software should have set each of the 5 Index Entries to be part of the Laws
Index.
I should have been able to see then if I hovered over them or if I invoked
'Edit Index Entry.'
I should be able to refresh the Laws Index and see each of the 5 Index Entries
pasted in.
The hover to see the Index Entry used to work in LibreOffice 5.1 but the other
aspects never worked.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Not applicable
Additional Info:
When dealing with multiple indexes and having items in different Indexes it
becomes quite time consuming when moving text between different sections of a
document.
This is because with the 1st item from each Index Entry losing its Index and
not being able to see easily - I have to delete Index Entries from all Indexes
and recreate them manually. Goes a little faster with shortcut keys.

more details.
Thank you for looking into the matter.
