That's right. This is one of the reasons we don't really like our Include tool[*]. Hopefully, XXE v4 will make it easier working with modular documents. > - Often I type the start of the id, e.g. "cite_adm.." and then realise > that the glossary is selected instead of the terms list.

Please consider that this is a inevitable consequence of the above shortcoming. --- [*] In fact, we like almost nothing at all in our support of modular documents, except that 1) it is based on XIncludes and not on references to entities 2) the "Copy As Reference/Paste" technique is really fine (easy to understand and safe) when it comes to paste big chunks: sections, chapters, etc.
