            Bug ID: 129444
           Summary: UI: Writer: illogical headers in Insert Bibliography
                    Entry dialog
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mihhkel at gmail.com

I found some strangeness in the Insert Bibliography Entry dialog (see Insert -
Table of Contents and Index - Bibliography Entry).
The dialog has been slightly re-designed for 6.4, but I find the wording that
is used strange. Namely the two section headers, "Entry" (old) and "Layout"
(new in 6.4) no longer match their sections:
1) "Entry" has only two sub-items now, the radio buttons for choosing between
"From bibliography database" and "From document content".
2) "Layout" has three sub-items: Short name (dropdown), Author, Title.

While I welcome the update (esp. moving the dropdown to its logical place above
the Title/Author info, not below it as before), I cannot see the logic behind
naming the second section header "Layout". In my mind, it would be logical to
name that one "Entry", and rename the first header (current "Entry") to
"Bibliography source" or similar, as it now is header only for the upper part
of the dialog, not the whole dialog anymore. And depending on the chosen first
header, the options "From bibliography database" / "From document content"
should probably be updated, too (e.g. if the header is renamed to "Bibliography
source", then the "From" in these strings becomes superfluous).
