--- Comment #6 from bianca.chior...@altom.com ---
Hello William, I was able to reproduce the bug using the steps you described,
also on MacOS:
Version: 7.6.2.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 56f7684011345957bbf33a7ee678afaf4d2ba333
CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 14.0; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx
Locale: en-US (en_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
Besides your steps I did some further investigations that might be helpful for
having a better overview of this bug. (The following tests except the last
one, were executed on the configurations listed above)
1. Instead of ‘Relative to Entire paragraph area’ width (step 3)
a. I did set it to ‘Relative to Entire page with an 80% percentage -> The
behavior was the same
b. I also left the ‘Relative to’ unchecked -> the result was the same
c. And I also checked the AutoSize checkbox and created the Frame in that
way -
> The behavior was the same —> Which means that these variables(‘Relative
to’ and ‘AutoSize’) are not influencing the results nor does the value of
the width.
2. I did try to reproduce the bug with a Frame that has 3 columns instead of
two -> The behavior was the same -> Any number of columns greater than one
returns the same result
3. I added data in both columns before changing the Position of the Footbar
from ‘End of the Page’ to ‘End of the Document’ and what I observed was that
the data from column2 is transferred on a new row to the colum1, and even if
the cursor is able to go to column 2 area, once the user types some characters,
the characters are displayed in column 1 so the column 2 becomes unusable and
the frame acts like it has just one column even if 2 columns can be seen.
Please check the screenshot attached. ('Before', 'After')
4. Regarding the documentation, I read the Footnote & Endnote chapter but I
couldn’t find anything related to the Footnotes having any limitations on
Frames. The documentation that I read can be found at this link:
https://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/en/WG7.6/WG76-WriterGuide.pdf
5. Tried to reproduce the bug on other types of documents in LibreOffice (Calc
Spreadsheet, Impress Presentation, Draw Drawing, Math Formula and Base
Database) but none of them offers the possibility of adding a footnote or a
frame so the bug is Writer Document specific
6. I wanted to see if this issue is a new one or it can be found also on older
versions of the app and it seems like it can be reproduced also on version:
6.4.5.2 - 2020 —--> So it doesn’t seem to be a new issue. I also tried older
versions (4.0.0.1, 5.0.0.1 and 6.0.0.1 but they are not compatible with my OS
and the app didn’t open so I can’t say if the issue is not older than 6.0.0.1)
Hope my additions are helpful and let me know if something is unclear and needs
clarification.
