Bug ID: 153248
Summary: "Numbering Captions by Chapter" in Insert - Caption -
Options dialog changes all captions, should it?
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

test document for caption numbering
Note: need to test with LO prior to 7.5 because of bug 153244
1. For convenience, use attached document, or make a document with several
captions.
2. Then open Insert - Caption - Options dialog to insert a new caption.
3. Change "level" and/or "separator" and click OK.
Actual: All captions are changed (even if a new caption is not inserted)
Expected: Only the current caption (to be inserted) is affected.
Additional information
Using the "Level" and "Separator" in the Edit Field dialog for Caption field
also changes all the captions, not just the currently edited field.
Seems confusing in Insert - Caption - Options dialog for the Numbering Captions
by Chapter section to have a global effect, when the other two options in that
dialog only have an effect on the current caption being inserted. Maybe need
some way in UI indicate this behavior.
Question to UX-Eval, what is the expected behavior here?
If current behavior is expected, then probably some mention should be included
in help page.
