Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 36611
Heading numbering in conditional/hidden sections is still counted
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:15:44 UTC
Refer to existing (closed) issue 14211. There seems to be a regression in 1.1.3. When a section is hidden because a condition is met, then the subsequent section heading number is not updated to reflect the fact that the previous section is missing. I can send a sample if necessary.
Created attachment 18886 [details] File contains an example of the problem - there are 3 sections and one is hidden because the condition is met, however, the third section is numbered "3." when it should be "2.".
This still seems to be here in 1.9.m65. Is this a bug, in other words, shouldn't the app count all sections both visible and invisible?
MRU->HBRINKM: it is not a regreession, problem was the same in OO 1.1.x. Outlined paragraphs are also taken in mind when they are in a hidden section. See my attachment.

target set
FME: Due to our lack of resources, I'll change the target to 'OOo Later'. A perfect solution would be to have an option "consider hidden paragraphs for numbering". Not to consider hidden paragraphs would be a nice feature, on the other hand Word does not update the numbering if a paragraph is hidden. Therefore this should be optional.
Just because Word does this wrong, doesn't mean that Open Office also should do this wrong. Note that Latex/Tex does this RIGHT. However - I agree, it would be nice to have an option on a per-document basis whether to include or exclude the conditional numbering.
Actually, this issue affects *any* numbering inside a hidden section, not just headers but also ordered lists etc. This really should be fixed as it makes managing several versions of a text in one file impossible.
This issue still exists in OOo 2.4.1 and 3.0rc1.
Numbering is now handled by OD.
Problem still exist in DEV300m50. Problem exists by "numbered lists" and "Outline Numbering".
It would be very helpful for us to have this fixed. Is there a recommended way to help this get more priority?
setting keyword "numbering"
Is there any schedule to get this fixed? This is one of the issues preventing doing documents in OO instead of Word (with external macros from LiveLinx) here.
Currently, there exists no schedule for the fix of this issue. But, I am adjusting its target to "OOo 3.x" expressing the will to get it fixed in one of the next releases.
