Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 72203
New components entered into master document in wrong order
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
When editing a Master Document, using the Explorer Master Document view, and entering File, Index, or new document components into the master document, the new component is entered before the selected component. This is a problem because users naturally want to enter components in a first-to-last order. For example, the user will naturally want the Text to be at the head of the document, but when a component (say file1.odt) is entered then the file1.odt component precedes the Text component. Similarly, file2.odt is inserted before Text or file1.odt, depending upon which is selected before the insertion. Then, the user must manually drag the components into the desired first-to-last order. This is tedious for master documents with a large number components. So, I suggest that (1) a new components are entered after the selected component, (2) to allow rapid entry of new components, the last entered component is automatically selected in preparation for the entry of the next new component.
