Description Daniel Benkmann 2009-06-18 16:43:48 UTC 
1) Open a new writer document
2) Enter some text, e.g. "abc"
3) Select the entered text and insert a new bookmark (Insert->Bookmark) on the
text called "A" (the name doesn't really matter)
4) Delete the entered text (e.g. by just pressing Del which will delete the
still selected text). Now the bookmark still exists in the document as an
uncollapsed bookmark with length zero (i.e. a bookmark on a text range with no
content)
5) Make sure the cursor is at the position of the bookmark (which should be the
case if you did everything as described here) and enter some text, e.g. "def"
6) The character "d" is now inside the bookmark.

This behaviour seems illogical. Either the whole text "def" should be inside the
bookmark or completely outside the bookmark. Just putting the first character in
there doesn't make much sense.

Sum up:
- type "abc"
- set a bookmark on it: <bookm>abc</bookm>
- delete the text: <bookm>abc</bookm>
- re-type some text "def" at cursor position
-> you get <bookm>d</bookm>ef
