I do not think there is another way to donate. In any case, just
participating on the list is already a great help!

You could add \renewcommand{\tablefootnote}{\footnote} to the 
document preamble. (If you do this a lot, you might want to cobble 
together a module for it.)


Paul

Thank you Paul! This works fine and takes me out of immediate danger 
zone. I guess a module would be a good idea in the long run.


A somewhat linked issue is that I get an error message if I use the 
rotate package in a LyX file that uses tablefootnotes: "Package 
tablefootnote Error: Package rotating loaded after tablefootnote."


Hard to find a place to load rotate before the tablefootnote though.

Many thanks again!

Niklas,

I've attached a module. Try putting it in your local layouts folder 
(~/.lyx/layouts on most Linux systems), then reconfigure LyX, add it to 
your document (and do /not/ add the \renewcommand line in the preamble), 
then see if you get the desired results (including using the rotate 
package).


Cheers,
Paul

Thanks for this pefect bug report, Niklas! A simple .lyx file in 2.2.x
format, and before and after screenshots--It is always a pleasure to
receive a well-organized bug report. I can reproduce your findings.

By the way, I think there are two questions here: 1. do we want to
change the output of 2.2.x files? and 2. do we want the behavior in new
2.3.x-created files to be different? I would guess the answer to 2. is
yes it is expected. I'm not sure about 1.

Best,

Scott

Re: How to get rid of indentation in footnote

Dear Jürgen,

thanks, this also works. For me it is not that easy to have a good orientation 
in the manual, but thank you for the hint nonetheless. I hope to get this 
better one day…

How to get rid of indentation in footnote

[jezZiFeR]

Hello,

could somebody please help: how could I get rid of the indentation of footnotes 
in the first line of the footer? I want every footnote to begin at the margin 
without indentation. I use KOMA-script-report in LyX 2.3.0. Please let me know 
if you need a screenshot.

Thanks
Jess
