--- Comment #2 from Heinrich Hartl <heinrich.ha...@email.de> ---
My environment is MS-Windows 7 SP1 on a Thinkpad Laptop with a screen
resolution of 1366x768. Writer is at level 6.0.2.1. I have no local help files
installed I am using those from the internet.

And here are my step-by step instructions:
1. Start up your writer
2. make sure that View / Field shading is not selected
3. Download
https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=140990
This is the  Attachment 140990 in Details for Bug 116715
4. Open the downloaded document with writer
You should now see a few lines Lorem ipsum ... followed by an Alphabetical
Index with the entry lines.

There is no hint so far where these entries are inserted in the text.

5. You can try to use navigator to find these - I was not successful to do so.

6. Now turn on Field shading
Three tiny shaded rectangles will show up in the text.

7. Turning on View Field Names has no effect - What kind of field is it? It is
shaded but has no name?

8. Move your cursor over the shaded areas. For two of these areas a tooltip
pops up showing part of the entered index entry. However at least in my
environment no tooltip shows up when hoovering over the entry at the end of the
line after pariatur.

Next I try to enter the editing dialog for the index entry.
9. I click somewhere in the word Lorem, press Pos1 (cursor is now at the left
edge of the shaded area) and then Alt+EE. The menue shows the line "Index
entry..."
10. I click between the Tab-arrow and the word Lorem  (cursor is now left of
letter L) I press LeftArrow  (cursor is now at the left edge of the shaded
area, same as before) and then Alt+EE. The menue shows no line "Index entry..."

11. I click in the word Michelbach after M and LeftArrow (cursor is now at the
left border of the shaded area at the beginning of the line), and then Alt+EE.
The menue shows no line "Index entry..."

12. I click on dot after periatur (cursor is now at the left of the shaded area
but after dot) and then Alt+EE. The menue shows no line "Index entry...". I
press RightArrow (cursor is now in the middle of the shaded area) and then
Alt+EE. The menue shows the line "Index entry..."

It is difficult to navigate to the right place using cursor positioning with
keys. Trying to move the cursor to the left edge of the shaded area is not good
enough. The shown cursor position with respect to the tiny shaded area is not
leaping to the eye and is not a reliable indicator.

13. I try to find the context menue by moving the cursor with the mouse to the
shaded area and RightClick.
The context menue sometimes shows the line "Index entry..."  
# but it frequently fails -- some other context menue shows up. This is so even
in places where the tooltip shows the index entry.
# The line "Index entry ..." may show up even if I RightClick outside the
shaded area, e.g. when position is in the left margin left of Lorem or
Michelbach or after the end of the line after periatur.

14. To improve cursor positioning I set View Scale to 400%
15. I hoovered over the area waiting for the tooltip to show and then pressed
RightClick. The success rate was not better. I couldn't find a reliable way to
get the Context menue with line "Index entry..."

However working at that scale I made the following observation: If the cursor
is placed with the mouse to the left half of the shaded area I get the line
"Index entry...". However if the start position is in the right half of the
shaded area the result is negative, e.g. the word Michelbach is selected
instead. The tooltip seems to be triggered for cursor positions in a much wider
area not identical to the shaded area.
