Picture hyperlink problem

Greetings all...

I think I may be going mad. :?

Yesterday I inserted a picture into a topic and hyperlinked that picture to another topic. I didn't select a target frame.

This morning, I inserted that same picture into another place on the same topic. My intent was to hyperlink it but this time as a pop-up window (tech support reps reviewing the help system want to see both - the user taken to another screen or the user receiving a pop-up window).

After specifying the topic to link to and returning to the topic with the picture, the file name of the topic i'm linking to is appearing as a hyperlink in that step; not only as a hyperlink, but it inserted itself into a location that didn't contain a cursor.

So, the first time I did this, my step reads:

Select the Billing Cycle (PIC). Clicking the picture appearing within the parentheses takes them to the linked topic.

When I try this on a different step, it looks like:

Select the Street Code ACCT_Setup_StreetCodes.htm(PIC).

This happens regardless of my target selection, if at all selected. I tried linking the second occurance of the picture to the same file as the first occurence, thinking maybe it was a file name-length bug thing.

Any thoughts?

UPDATE. Picture hyperlink problem

I think I found the issue. The second occurence is in a "sub" list item.

1. step with picture hyperlink - WORKS
2. step
3. step
i. sub step
ii. sub step with picture hyperlink - DOES NOT WORK
4. step
5. step with picture hyperlink - WORKS

I guess I'll be submitting a bug fix request. :wink:
