<pre>Description:
you have inserted a document through Insert / Section / link...
and want to remove it...
now, hitting the remove button doesn't do what the button says...
doesn't remove it, but instead converts it into normal text...
this is, doubtlessly, a major bias...
imagine your text... a book of some 150 pages..
of which 25 pages are embedded using a file, another document
(you'll choose to work on small documents for various reasons...
one of them being that your netbook is not that powerful to offer a smooth
operation eve at the document length over 100 pages
OR
because you like to edit sections separately...
say, there are several contributing authors, and several short stories or
essays, whatever, the point being: different stories, different editing
sessions)
now, you want to remove a section? you simply can't
and I'm certain that most users / writers / editors will hit "remove"...
cause they'll believe they know what remove means in that context :)
and then...
they'll have 25 pages of text there... with no borders... and no option to
remove, other than making a 25 pages long "select" and hitting delete...
which, as a risky thing, is not the favorite of any editor..
.........
this is why a remove section should be there..
and a convert to normal text, or "adopt" as normal text, whatever the name,
only it should be human readable :)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert -> Section / as link
2. try to remove it
3.
Actual Results:
