Bug ID: 156090
Summary: "Counting" and "Start at" are reversed in "Settings of
Footnotes and Endnotes" dialog box
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: will.fried...@gmail.com
Description:
In the dialog box Tools | Footnotes and Endnotes | Footnotes, the labels
"counting" and "start at" are reversed.
See the help for "Footnote Settings" -- https://help.libreoffice.org/7.5/en-
US/text/swriter/01/06080100.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=modules/swriter/ui/footnotepage/FootnotePage#bm_id3154656
-- which says:
Counting
Select the numbering option for the footnotes.
Option
Per page
Per chapter
Per document
Start at
Enter the number for the first footnote in the document. This option is only
available if you selected "Per Document" in the Counting box.
But in the actual UI, "counting" is a number and "start at" is a dropdown
selection list with per page/per chapter/per document. Also, in the Endnotes
tab, "Start at" requires a number, and there is no option for "Counting."
(This may be a separate bug/enhancement request, but it is very weird and
confusing to separate two options related by dependency -- start at and
counting, the latter of which is dependent on the former, by two unrelated
options -- before and after -- and to put the dependent option, start at,
*before* the option on which it is dependent, counting.)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Tools | Footnotes and Endnotes.
2. Click the Footnotes tab.
3. See that "counting" requires a number and "start at" is a dropdown listbox.
4. Click on the Endnotes tab. See that "start at" is where "counting" is in the
Footnotes tab.
Actual Results:
The two labels are reversed.
Expected Results:
The labels should be properly assigned.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
