--- Comment #6 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- 1. "like in MS office" A reference document is needed, along with the MS Office version specification, and the screenshots / PDF of the MS Word rendering, to track this *interoperability* issue. As mentioned in https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/footnote-continuing-to-the-next-chapter/117148/5, some testing couldn't easily clarify what exactly is the perceived difference between the Word and Writer behaviors - it may happen, that that indeed is bug 73977. 2. It needs further specification. On a page like Chapter 1 text text text text [1] text text. Chapter 2 text text text text text text text. --- [1] A short footnote. it is *completely normal* that the footnote appears *after* the next chapter has started. Indeed, it is clear that we talk about a chapter starting on the next page (presumably, using the paragraph's "break before" feature) - but then, is this to require all explicit page breaks to flush the footnotes? only those inserted by the paragraph style? Only those where the paragraph style is in Heading Numbering? Only those that have a dedicated newly introduced property? Then is it required that the "flush" happens fully *before* the break happens - i.e., can the *last* part of a footnote to appear on the first page of the next chapter, or not? Generally, *if* the Word behavior is considered satisfactory, *and* it will be clarified that indeed the Word behavior is that of bug 73977, then my suggestion would be to *not* introduce more flexibility without a real need, and mark this as a duplicate of that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
