Description grandoud 2005-10-04 14:14:18 UTC 
when doing "insert bookmark", if the name of the bookmark to be inserted is
taken from the dropdown list, the "OK" button is inactive
Comment 1 michael.ruess 2005-10-04 15:00:55 UTC 
Reassigned to ES.
Comment 2 lohmaier 2005-10-05 20:18:29 UTC 
This works as designed.

Bookmarks have to be unique, so you can only add new ones or delete existing
ones from within that dialog.

Thus no bug → worksforme
Comment 3 lohmaier 2005-10-05 20:27:21 UTC 
no issue, closing.

It would be a bug if OOo allowed to insert the same bookmark multiple times.
Comment 4 grandoud 2005-10-05 21:22:45 UTC 
I understand your point

however, what I want to do is move a bookmark from one place to another.
In Word,I do it by inserting the bookmark from the dropdown list, which
automatically erases the previous one.

I suggest that you reconsider the specs since I believe that it would be more
convenient for many users (with possibly a warning/confirmation message)
Comment 5 eric.savary 2005-10-06 13:30:23 UTC 
So it's an enhancement.
Comment 6 lohmaier 2005-10-08 13:44:42 UTC 
setting keywords.

OO2.4 still works as reported in issue 55454.
I see basically two alternate ways to handle that.

1.  Stick to the current specs. In that case, "insert bookmark" should be
changed to avoid displaying the drop-down list with existing bookmark names,
since that is useless and misleading.

2.  Keep the drop down list. In that case, selecting a name from the list should
first produce a warning message like “existing bookmark. Do you want to move
it?†If the answer is yes, erase the bookmark at its current location and insert
a bookmark with the same name in the new location.

Behavior still exists, as described, in v2.4.  Nice feature, but probably P4.  I
would suggest renaming the OK button to "Move" under these circumstances, to
make the user's choices obvious.  /tj
