FM11 displays "DITA crossref" dialog instead of normal crossref dialog

Hi, when I click Special > crossreference then FM11 displays the new "DITA cross ref dialog". How can I open the normal dialog?

For some reasons, the developers evidently thought that writers using structured FM do not need to see chapter numbers anymore and display IDs instead. For me the numbers were the main orientation and searching for a title using only the text is a real pain.

Maybe I can add a screenshot later to show what I mean, currently the forum displays an internal error when I try to upload.

From what I see the two dialogs are completely separate without the possibiliy to switch. I think it will be easier to explain with screenshots.

Regretably I still cannot upload images, the Adobe server always tells me to try again in a few minutes.

Here the images! Evidently the problem is browser-specific, Adobe's forum is not compatible with IE (lol).

Anyway, this is the new "DITA" crossref dialog

vs. the normal crossref dialog which displays chapter numbers and also lets you to jump to the linked target

Both dialogs are used in parallel, in the following structure the first crossref opens up the "DITA" dialog whereas the second opens up the normal crossref dialog. I do not uderstand the reason for this difference.

Robert,

I do not have FM11, but isn't there a Source Type dropdown list in the dialog box? If so, it may be as simple as selecting what you want listed.
