Visual bug in Microsoft Word bibliography editor when items are omitted from bibliography
Hi.
Report ID: 1242279827
I have a custom csl template to omit some cited works from the generated bibliography using an if statement (based on examining the 'extra' field) and simply doing nothing if it's true, otherwise printing the bibliography normally (example below).
bibliography hanging-indent="true" et-al-min="7"...
...
if type="manuscript" variable="ancient" match="all"
!--exclude Primary Ancient Sources (e.g. Thuc., Hdt. etc.) from bibliography--
/if
else
...
...
/bibliography
This creates a minor visual bug in the word plugin 'edit bibliography' manager whereby the text preview does not match the selected item if one of the omitted items is above it. For example, if reference 1 is omitted, clicking on it will display the text for reference 2. Clicking on reference 2 will display the text for reference 3, and so on. This compounds when additional items are omitted.
Steps to reproduce:
1) omit an item from the bibliography csl
2) cite the omitted item in a word document
3) cite one or two more non-omitted items with alphabetically subsequent author names (so they appear lower in the bibliography)
4) generate a bibliography using 'add/edit bibliography'
5) open the 'add/edit bibliography' manager
6) click on the items under 'entries in the bibliography' and compare them against the preview pane
Cheers
