Can confirm the behavior and can do so all the way back to OO.o.

Right now the only way to fix a problem (let's say you applied an incorrect
style) is to go fix it in place in the document and then regenerate the index
once again.

However, here is the problem. It isn't just that you can not undue a re-index
it is that you lose access to the undue queue after the re-index.

At first I thought of changing this report to a RFE, since this is how the
application has always (far as I can tell) worked. But when you look the effect
this has on the undue queue then IMO it is actually a bug.

To see this in action:

1. Open the attached file.

2. Go to page 5 and change the header line from 'Direct formatting' and add
something to it ie 'Direct formatting of text'

3. Open the menu Edit and note that the undue feature is active.

4. Move the cursor into the Table Of Contents and using the context menu
'Update Index'

5. Now check the menu Edit and note the undue feature is disabled. Which means
you can not only not undue the index rebuild you have also lost the undue of
the actual text change.
