--- Comment #30 from TH <[email protected]> --- I write a great deal, being an author of many books (under a pen name), which are heavily documented. I also have a software architect and engineer, as well as a database architect, though NOT in the tools / language used for LibreOffice. >From a UI and UX perspective, and as a writer, it does NOT make sense to be able to set a fixed font size for footnotes or endnotes ACCIDENTALLY (i.e., without intent to do so), and it also does not make sense that undoing such a change should be difficult or inobvious. Here's my suggestion: Provide a check box next to the Size for the font in the Anchor style, which indicates Calculated. If that box is selected (and it should be, by default), then changing the font size explicitly would be disabled. If unselected and the Size is subsequently changed, then re-checking Calculated should remove any "under the hood" explicit font size for the anchor style. This approach would provide the best of all worlds: the ability to use an explicit font size if desired for the anchor text, and the ability to understand what has occurred and easily undo that explicit specification, reverting to the default calculations for the anchor size, should that be needed / desired. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
