I have references that already exist. I want to reuse one of them. I choose reference bookmark icon. It lists all current references under use current reference. It is unclear what to type here. If I type in erroneous text, it seems to let me insert it, and it chooses the first reference [ users 1]. It does not check to see if text corresponds to existing reference.
Need directions on what to type for a existing reference, or how to choose existing reference.

I can't reproduce this; maybe the UI has been fixed?

Attached is the list I see. Typing 'ux' in the input box removes references that dont match the string 'ux'. Typing 'sys' reduces the list to one reference that does match the box.

I can't reproduce this either. Time for a close as "worksforme"?

On review this was specifically fixed by the changes to how the references list was constructed; marking as such.
