I replicated this bug on OpenOffice 2.3.1/Windows XP. Even though the reference
to the footnote does not update( the number is the same), clicking on the
reference goes to the correct footnote explanation.
Here are some follow-up tests I did:
Case A: References to footnotes are correctly updated when other footnotes are
deleted:
* Open OpenOffice.
* Click “New” --> “Text Document”.
* Insert three footnotes. (Insert --> footnote)
Put a space between each footnote for clarity.
* Add a reference to the third footnote.( Insert --> “Cross-Reference”)
* Delete the second footnote ( highlight it and press backspace)
The reference to the footnote is correctly updated. Furthermore, it indicates
the problem might reside with updating footnote references when adding new
footnotes.
Case B: Deleting a footnote correctly deletes its corresponding footnote
references.
Case C (close variation of original): After Inserting a footnote between the two
other footnotes, delete it and re-insert it, the footnote reference is correctly
updated:
* Open OpenOffice.
* Click “New” --> “Text Document”.
* Insert two footnotes. (Insert --> footnote)
Put a space between each footnote for clarity.
* Add a reference to the second footnote.( Insert --> “Cross-Reference”)
* Add another footnote between the two current footnotes.
Notice the footnote reference is incorrect(the original bug).
* Delete the middle footnote, the one that was inserted last ( highlight it and
press backspace).
* Click “Edit” --> “Undo Last”.
This will bring back the deleted middle footnote and surprisingly the footnote
reference is correctly updated. This is how the bug can be circumvented.
