In this bug report, we will concentrate on point (b) from my distinction in
comment #4, i.e. on the documentation issue. To put it all together:


LibreOffice Help says ("Help > LibreOffice Help > Index > cross-references >
inserting and updating"):

  "Updating Cross-References

  To manually update the cross-references in a document, press F9."

No information is given about how to select this command from the menu. This is
irritating, because:
(a) selecting the command from the menu is IMHO the primary way to select
    any command; keyboard shortcuts and F-keys are rather *alternative* ways
    to select commands and are directed especially at power users;
(b) keyboard shortcuts and F-keys may not always work, depending on
    user interface language, keyboard type and settings.

Therefore, I propose to change this part of the LibreOffice help to:

  "Updating Cross-References

  To manually update the cross-references in a document, choose
  "Tools - Update - Fields" from the menu or press F9."


Regarding the documentation, this is a valid bug report, therefore I change the
Status to "NEW" (confirmed). Setting Version according to comment #3. Setting
Platform to "All".


@András Timar:

Hello András,
I insert your address into the CC list because I think you are our expert for
"fixing bugs in localhelp". This is a valid report about a lack or shortcoming
of our LibreOffice help, so please fix this or tell me whom I should contact
for fixing this. I have already proposed an improved formulation above. Thank
you very much in advance!
