Bug ID: 160755
Summary: The Footnote page style is nonsensical and should be
removed
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED

Example with footnotes exceeding past end of text
Writer's Styles sidebar has a page style named "Footnote".
A footnote appears at the bottom of a page, with its own page style. If a
footnote extends to another page - then it appears underneath later text. And
if, finally, the footnotes extend past the last text before a page break or the
end of the document - then the last sequence of pages continues, with pages
which may have no lines of proper text, but some lines of footnote text.
This is how LibreOffice behaves; it never creates separate "Footnote" pages,
and never - as far as I can tell - uses a "Footnote" page style. See the
attached example, where the Default Page Style is green, but the Footnote page
style is Red; no pages get a red background.
And you're wondering: "But where do we make settings regarding footnotes,
beyond what the Footnote paragraph style offers?" - there is an answer: Each
Page Style includes some footnote-related settings, which we edit using the
'Footnote' tab of the Page Style dialog.
So, we should simply remote the Footnote page style. It makes no sense, and
seems to be unused.
