            Bug ID: 141398
           Summary: Reduce user's work load for inserting cross-references
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: christianw_lehmann at arcor.de

Description:
Insert cross-reference:
The dialog box has a section 'Selection'. In the 'Filter Selection' field, the
user can write the number of the object he wants to cross-reference.
- The filtered list below offers not only the numbered objects themselves, but
also references to them. The latter are not wanted; the user wants to refer to
a numbered object, not to a reference.
- Once the list of numbered objects has shrunk down to a single object, this is
what the user wants to cross-reference. The cursor should then automatically
move down to select this object, so that it will suffice for the user to hit
Return.
(Both of these features used to be okay in Writer up to and including LO 5.)


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hit ALT-i.
2. Choose 'Cross-reference'.
3. Click in 'Filter Selection'.
4. Type initial characters of reference sought.

Actual Results:
1) In the area below the Selection field, the numbered object is listed, but
also references to it.
2) The graphic cursor remains in the Selection field even if the single fitting
object is identified.

Expected Results:
1) Only the numbered object itself should be listed (as it used to be case in
earlier versions of LO).
2) If only one object is listed, the cursor should highlight it.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
These are really enhancements rather than bugs. However, the enhancements
suggested are not new; they are properties that were present in earlier
versions. Their destruction amounts to a bug.
