[oXygen-user] Annoyance in Insert Topic Reference Dialog

Hi Eliot,
We intended the dialog to be as flexible as possible with
specializations so the combo is populated each time the dialog is shown
with all possible tag names at the current position as derived from the DTD.
I guess it is a good improvement to keep the last chosen tag name
persistent between shows in the current session.
In the meantime you could keep the dialog used to insert topic
references always opened and if new files are created just switch
directories so that the file chooser picks them up.
Or just copy/paste a topic ref and then "Edit properties" for the pasted
one.
Regards,
Radu
