So no tooltip on the frame label "Type" and "Insert reference to" and with bug 141869 we introduce better terms for the list content. Putting all together your take is WF - and I agree. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

I doubt. It _should_, but it isn't; and even if we rephrased it as I suggest it would still be somewhat cryptic.

Agreed, but those are short labels, which could use a 1-sentence/2-sentence explanation.
