Example file to illustrate inconsistent ref updating

Automatic updating of cross-references behaves inconsistent, depending on
content of document.

Current behaviour: There's a feature to insert cross-references (fields) in a
writer document, together with an option to automatically update such fields.
If one creates a cross-reference (as "reference type", meaning that the
reference shows a copy of the referenced text), that reference isn't updated
automatically if the reference is the sole paragraph content (see example
file).

Expected behaviour: the reference is updated also if it's the sole paragraph
content.

Steps to reproduce:
- new empty odt file;
- enter any text in first paragraph;
- select word, menu insert -> fields -> more fields -> Cross-reference -> in
the name field, enter a name; in the "type" list, double-click on "Set
reference"; close dialog.
- add some empty paragraphs after the first paragraph; put cursor in third
paragraph;
- menu insert -> fields -> more fields -> Cross-reference -> in the "type"
list, select "insert reference"; in the "selection" list, select assigned name;
in the "Insert reference to" list, select "Reference"; click on insert; click
on close;
- modify the reference word in first paragraph; reference in third paragraph
keeps initial text;
- do anything like adding content in third paragraph or insert the reference
again in first paragraph; reference in third para will be updated.
