Bug ID: 144563
Summary: Fields referencing numbered lists now have "." in the
generated text where they did not before
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.0.4 release
Hardware: All
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
If you have a document with a numbered list and then say Insert → Field → More
Fields..., then select Numbered Paragraphs from the Type box and Number from
the "Insert reference to" box and click one of the list elements in the
Selection box to the right, it used to put just the referenced number or letter
into the document.
Some very recent release version changed this. I'm not sure exactly when, but I
track the latest releases with the Homebrew cask, so LibreOffice gets silently
upgraded on me soon after each release.
This represents a regression in longstanding behavior. It causes my
carefully-formatted documents to be reflowed, since the field contents are now
longer.
It's fine if this is an intended feature, since although I consider the change
ugly, I can see that some people may want it. However, please offer an option
to revert it to the prior behavior. Also, the behavior probably shouldn't be
changed on existing documents.
