And then compare the behavior when *editing* such fields.

Editing a Statistics filed, one may still change the type of the statistics,
seeing the same list of variants in the middle listbox.

But editing a Page Number field, the "Page number", which initially was in the
middle box on insertion, goes to the left box (where initially "Page" was).

So there is a bug/inconsistency between the insertion dialog's categories. The
middle list must have the choices of the *subtype*, editable even after
insertion, and not the main types of the fields - "Page" pseudo-type should be
fixed in insert field dialog.

Basically this tdf#45048 is technically NOTABUG - if the field *types* (not
content of "select" middle box) is consistently shown as the field name.
