I understand this is an old bug. It is caused by the practice of identifying a paragraph by "id". Every time a new paragraph is created it gets a new (the next) id number. id's just aren't stable. I have tried a proof-of-concept for an alternative type of bookmarks. See the attached. It is based on the existing floats mechanism, and uses insets as bookmarks. These are stable, and can be named instead of numbered. Being floats, they end up in the navigation menu. This is a very rough prototype, but is this the way to go? The nice thing is that is uses existing infrastructure. - Martin
