Bug ID: 162318
Summary: When footnotes added to a text within a table: table
split in little bits, text disappears, LO Crashes
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.5.2 release
Hardware: ARM
OS: macOS (All)

Description:
Hi,time ago I filed the bug 151362 which pointed out a bad behavior of LO with
large files and tables.
Since this keeps happening not only with big files, but also with very small
ones, I decided to file this new bug.
We use two- or three-columns documents for translations and then copy paste the
part to be revised in a A5 template (to read it in pdf on a Remarkable for
ex.). Then we create a pdf. But this bug is hampering our work.
The bug seems to happen even with very small texts when footnotes are added in
a text within a table (we use 2 cells, but it may happen with only one). The
adding of such footnotes (to both columns) results in
1. Table split in very inconvenient way for revision (I sometimes had a 2 page
document split into 6 or 7)
2. Text of part of cell disappears below visible portion of screen
3. The adding of footnotes eventually results in the crashing of LO
Attached you'll have file called "without footnotes" to do follow all the steps
described below. The one called "with footnotes" shows the actual result (1 and
2 above) if you keep adding long footnotes LO will block.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a five A4 long text (or use the attachment "Without footnotes" provided
and jump to point 4)
2. Convert text into Table
3. Add a new column, select text in column1 and paste it in column2 (we do so
for translations, but the attached file is in one language)
4. Copy half of the first paragraph.
5. Insert 2 footnotes per cell both on the left and on the right column pasting
the text you copied (I paste it as only text, but any paste will do)
Actual Results:
1. Table split in very inconvenient way for revision (I sometimes had a 2 page
document split into 6 or 7)
2. Text of part of cell disappears below visible portion of screen
3. The adding of footnotes eventually results in the crashing of LO
I created 3 bookmarks: Bookmark 1 Column split, Bookmark 2 Column disappears,
Bookmark 2 Column split but I noticed that upon reopening now Cells are not
badly split corresponding to Bookmark 1 Column split, while the other two still
exist. Refer to pdf to see what I saw the first time.
Expected Results:
1. Table should not be split before the end of available space on an A4 or A5
(see attached pdfs created for both texts with footnotes and without)
2. Text of part of cell should not disappear below visible portion of screen
3. The adding of footnotes eventually results in the crashing of LO
