            Bug ID: 143512
           Summary: Insert-hyperlink tool resets before I am done
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: andrew at cottage14.com

I am building the table of contents for an e-book (I have done this more than
20 times, across several LO releases, and the behaviour has been consistent). I
select the insert-hyperlink tool and select Document. For Target I select
Headings.

I am using the H2 entries in the document as the targets of the table of
contents, and linking them is quite straightforward. 

HOWEVER, I have to open the Headings accordion to get to those H2 headings.
After I have set a few hyperlinks, or maybe one, the accordion collapses and I
have to open it again and find my way down to the heading I was working on when
it collapsed. Sometimes the thing closes a second time before I have been able
to set even one more link. I am editing books with fifty or sixty chapters, and
the tool's behaviour makes this task painful and error-prone.

If there is a timeout on this tool, it should be disabled. The thing should
stay in the state I put it in, without refreshing, until I close the tool,.
