At first I was confused about this complaint. When I add footnotes to an ODT in LibreOffice, the number is followed by what appears to be a tabstop space (although this is actually just a special first-line indent - must be special layout handling to deal with footnote numbering before - see bug 159382). Apparently it is often converted into a real tabstop when round-tripping to DOC/DOCX formats (see bug 106062). Oh - I think I might understand. If you go into "Tools - Footnote/Endnote Settings" and set something in the "After" field, then it uses that instead of the tabstop - and then as this bug report points out, those are lost on the round-trip, and that setting is lost too. That also means that when you use LO to add a new footnote into a DOC/X file, then there is no space added (because there is no first-line-indent, and there is no "After" character). But at least this is WYSIWYG. It just doesn't automatically insert a real space character like MS Word helpfully does. Important to note that the stuff in "Tools - Footnote/Endnote settings" is just layout/display information. It is not "part of the text" and so it is not written out to DOC/X files. So, for example, defaulting "After" to be a space during DOCX import would destroy the correct layout of existing DOCX files (and remember, it isn't written out to the file anyway...). Basically, "Tools - Footnote/Endnote settings" should be disabled during DOCX import.
