--- Comment #11 from [email protected] ---
With regards to the original bug that was reported, since no steps were given
to reproduce the bug, the link to the sample files no longer works, and the
sample document folder was empty after upgrading to version 4.1.3 from 4.1.2
(possible bug? I'm not sure if a sample document is supposed to be provided),
it seems impossible to replicate the original bug outside of sheer luck.

Additionally, the comments on this bug report starting with comment 5 seem to
address something completely unrelated to the original bug that was discussed,
and after looking into them it seems that they actually describe what appears
to be intended behavior. 

If you open a new new document in Writer and then
1. Add any text
2. Go to Insert -> Footnote/Endnote
3. Select the Endnote radio button under the Type section
4. And then press OK

then the default automatic endnote is "i". Continuing to add more endnotes in
the way I described shows that endnotes are labeled with roman numerals in
increasing numerical order (i, ii, iii, etc). Footnotes, however, by default
start with "1" and are labeled in increasing numerical order (1, 2, 3, etc).
Because you are allowed to define your own characters for Footnotes/Endnotes
instead of selecting the Automatic option, there is no way to tell what
pattern, if any, the user is using to label Footnotes/Endnotes. So when the
Automatic option is selected to label Footnotes/Endnotes for the first time it
goes to the default of "i" rather than attempting to guess a pattern that may
or may not exist.
