I was aware of the bug before trying to upgrade to 3.4 because it is written in plain text on the release notes of 3.4.2. Since I am writing a thesis with a lot of footnotes, I didn't had the choice to return back to 3.3 until the issue is properly resolved. I think that it is unprofessionnal to leave a bug in a software that is supposed to be a direct competitor of ms office. Simon
