Bookmark spanning several paragraphs is split on opening and saving DOCX #23
Description
I’ve attached a small DOCX with one bookmark called SampleRange that covers three paragraphs. If I open it and press F5, the Navigator lists it three times. And if I edit a sentence outside the bookmark and save, the DOCX now contains three separate bookmarks with the same name.
Since one bookmark over three paragraphs shows up as three entries, I wonder if the paragraph breaks are where it’s getting split.
(Also, I found it difficult to edit or delete existing bookmarks. I think I accidentally did it by selecting text and pretending to insert a new bookmark, which revealed a box that allowed me to hover over existing bookmarks and delete them. See attached image. It would great to simply move that hover x over to the Navigator itself!)
Tested in 0.13.0 on Fedora KDE.

Thanks for the test file, that made it easy to track down. You were right: the bookmark got split at the paragraph breaks. In 0.14.0 a bookmark across several paragraphs stays one bookmark. The Navigator lists it once, and DOCX and ODT save it with a single start and end again.
About editing and deleting: the bookmark rows in the Navigator now have rename and delete directly, and clicking a row jumps to the bookmark. Renaming also updates cross-references and links that point to it. The Bookmark window now opens without a selection too, so you don't need the workaround anymore.

Thanks, this is great! Being able to open Bookmark without selecting text is much easier.
