--- Comment #5 from Christian Lehmann <christianw_lehmann at arcor.de> ---
On the one hand, I find it pleasant to receive advice how I can circumvent
problems that I encounter. On the other hand, they sometimes tend to downplay
the existence of a real bug.

1) I could, of course, choose 'Headings' as Type whenever I want to refer to a
section. However, equally often I want to refer to a numbered paragraph which
is not a heading. I would then have to select the Type at every given instance,
which amounts to as much work as the target selection which I complained about
in the first place.
Even in the Headings list, headings are shown which I am not looking for. E.g.,
always using the sample file I provided and having selected Type 'Headings',
type "2.1.1" in the Selection field. Beside the heading looked for, you will
see another one (2.2.2.1.1) which you did not look for (if you were searching
it, you would type "2.2.2." etc.)
Needless to say, the problem I reported is the same if you reference some
object which is not a heading. E.g., start typing "e28" in the Selection, and
you will see a paragraph in the list that does not belong there.

2) As to your comment
"LO displays result from the moment you start typing. So for me it's expected,
that Searching filed is still active."
we may have a misunderstanding. Select Type "Headings" and, in the Selection
field, type "2.1.2.1". This identifies a single target. In the list field, this
should automatically be highlighted (as it used to be the case in earlier LO
versions). Instead, the cursor remains in the Selection field.
