Wouldn't have made the cross-reference dialog modeless. You could also ask why the paragraph/character properties are modal. "Modeless interaction" should be done via sidebar (or toolbar/Notebookbar), which has limitations itself. Eg. you are probably unhappy if you always have to switch from the properties deck to the reference or special character deck. You use case is to insert frequently used special characters and the supposed workflow is to use the floating widget. I agree here with the modification to detach it from the toolbar to get rid of the one click.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
