<pre>It seems that a new category "figure" was introduced in 6.1 for captions (see
also <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_VERIFIED bz_closed"
title="VERIFIED FIXED - Call inserted images Figure rather than Illustration by default in caption"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=58407">bug 58407</a>, where this was proposed, and, looking at the comments,
obviously was realised in some way).
But now there is the problem that documents created in an older version still
use "illustration", so if you add new images, they get a different category,
and the numbering starts again with 1.
Steps to reproduce:
create a Writer document in 6.0 or earlier
insert an image and add a caption to it; the caption will be of category
"illustration", the number will be 1.
save the document and close it.
now open it in 6.1 or 6.2, insert another image and add a caption: the category
will be "figure", the number will be 1 again.
I have tested that with several versions of 6.1 and with 6.2.0.0alpha.
If I look at the menu item Insert -> Field -> More Fields... -> Number Range I
see both figure and illustration; the intent of <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_VERIFIED bz_closed"
title="VERIFIED FIXED - Call inserted images Figure rather than Illustration by default in caption"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=58407">bug 58407</a>, as I understand, was
to *change* the name, not to add another category.
This will certainly cause many troubles when people start using 6.1 to a major
extent, including LibreOffice's own documentation.</pre>
