Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guil...@libreoffice.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |stephane.guillou@libreoffic | |e.org OS|Linux (All) |All Version|7.3.7.2 release |7.2.7.2 release --- Comment #6 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guil...@libreoffice.org> --- Back in 7.1, the dot was not included: Version: 7.1.0.3 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: f6099ecf3d29644b5008cc8f48f42f4a40986e4c CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded But back then, the behaviour was very inconsistent: - only "before" character: kept - only "after" character: stripped - both "before" and "after" characters: both kept Since 7.2, all "before" and "after" characters are kept: Version: 7.2.7.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 8d71d29d553c0f7dcbfa38fbfda25ee34cce99a2 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded That was introduced by https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/117156, which mentions: "changed cross-references values to lists: they are now including full list label string" However, the fix for bug 144563 restores the stripping of the final dot since 7.3.3 and 7.4.0 for MS Word compatibility reasons, but only when the full reference ends with it. E.g. "1." becomes "1", but "1.(a)" stays the same (as you've noticed already). In my opinion, keeping all characters is more consistent. Why should the dot be stripped but not the parentheses? But I can understand the appeal of having the option to strip them or not, which could be done as described in bug 149635#c11 Also adding Heiko to CC, as he participated in related discussions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
