--- Comment #14 from Dave <dhorton668 at gmail.com> ---
If a modeless window is the wrong fit for Insert Special Character, how can it
be the right fit for Insert Cross-Reference?

The Insert Cross-Reference dialog is modeless. I can navigate my document
without closing and reopening to insert a cross reference. This is inconsistent
with the Insert Special Character dialog that requires me to close it before I
can navigate to a new position in the document.

Why present two different dialog behaviors to the end user? To what advantage?
Shouldn't the goal be a consistent user interface? If the "Insert X" dialog
works one way and the "Insert Y" menu is different, how is that better?
