--- Comment #1 from [email protected] --- I have often encountered this problem, or what appears to be the same problem, in 4.0.0.3 and it is extremely easy to reproduce. I am unclear as to why it remains unconfirmed, and it is very troublesome in large documents with large indexes. Hopefully the following instructions will help confirm it. Also, I will note that OpenOffice Writer does NOT have the problem, and that this issue is keeping me using OO instead of moving to LibreOffice. (1) Create a new text document, enter a bit of random text. Add a few names with the same surname. e.g. John Smith, James Smith, Joseph Smith, etc. (2) Highlight a name and select Insert|Indexes and Tables|Entry... (3) Select alphabetical index as index type. (4) In the box "First Key" type Smith. (5) Repeat for each name. Note that as you add names to the index, the number of entries for "smith" increases by one. It is NOT necessary to retype the key Smith into the field. Merely hitting Insert when the 1St key displays the name smith will add one, even if it merely remains from the previous entry and was not even selected from the dropdown list. The practical effect is that creating a document of any respectable size with a large index becomes difficult, as the numbers of entries for each key explodes. I am working on a huge document with hundreds of index entries, and it is virtually unmanageable. I would urge addressing this issue, as it is neither minor, nor difficult to reproduce. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
