Bug #: 54393
Summary: Footnotes and Endnotes are hidden together with anchor
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.6.1.2 release
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
In scientific texts (natural science) it is common and for some articles in
many journals necessary to make an extra footnote or endnote for each reference
(Vancouver system). These journals also demand that within the main text more
than 2 subsequent reference numbers should be written like: 2-5. If libreoffice
should be really an alternative for usage in scientific writing at universities
the correct implementation of a hiding feature concerning the reference number
(footnote/endnote anchor) as given in MS-office is absolutely vital. Otherwise
the libreoffice writer is not usable for millions of students and scientists.
If you write 2- 3 4 5 and try to hide 3 4 (together with the spaces), the
endnotes themselves are also hidden.
A work around using small font size and white color leads to terrible spaces if
you have more reference (e.g. 23-30). Interestingly these formattings are not
applied to the endnotes themselves.
One can apply any formatting to the anchor (strike out, blinking etc.) without
having the same effect at the footnote or endnote itself – except hiding.
Therefore the vanishing of the endnotes and also footnotes by hiding their
reference number seems to be a bug.
In addition, if the whole text within an endnote or footnote is hidden the
footnote/endnote is hidden completely. This can be avoided by at least leaving
one space unhidden. As there is already this way to do so, there is no reason
why the note itself should vanish, when the anchor is hidden, if the user would
need this in some rare cases.
