Taking a quick look at the code, it seems that SwFmtFtn::GetFtnText() in sw/source/core/txtnode/atrftn.cxx returns only one text node from the footnote. If the footnote contains multiple paragraphs, then only the first paragraph is returned. However, I did not find the way to get the number of text nodes in a given footnote. It is not stored in the object.
You can use "soft returns" (Shift+Enter) to separate lines in footnotes, that works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150937 Title: [Upstream] Large footnotes not fully displayed when mouse is over the number Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Unknown Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 3) What is expected to happen in Writer via the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/150937/+attachment/2144278/+files/example.odt && lowriter -nologo example.odt and hover the mouse icon over the object is the entire footnote is displayed as it does in Word screenshot https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/150937/+attachment/2144302/+files/Screenshot.png 4) What happens instead is it displays truncated.
