------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 22 16:02:46 +0000 2008 ------- I already opened a similar case, it was closed as unresolvable, I reopened it with a detailed explanation of a simple solution of the problem but did not get an answer or comment. I must note that there was a lack on my side because I didn't mention the role of widow/orphan control im my original description. That's why I want to resubmit the case with a new description and a slightly altered test file. At the same time I will close the old case. Independent of this lack on my side I think it was obvious that an editor should not work in the described situation as Writer does in the moment. 1) Open the test file. You see a full page so that any new line will add a new page. The page has a big footnote area. 2) Locate the line "INSERT A CHARACTER HERE (POINT1):" and enter a character after the colon. You see that the design of the page is preserved because the inserted character is shifted to a new line on the same page and the remainder of the page remains unmodified - except the end of the footnote area what is shifted to the new page. But this does not destroy the design of the page. This is a desired behaviour what Writer also show in the next case but does not do that. 3) Delete the inserted character and insert a character after "INSERT A CHARACTER HERE (POINT2):" It is a paragraph with active widow/orphan control as all other paragraphs have this option activated. The new thing with this paragraph is that this paragraph has a big footnote. This seems to let Writer think that it should shift this paragraph to a new page. The consequence is that the complete big footnote is shifted to the next page too so that more than a half of the original page is blank now and the design of the page is destroyed. But it is absolutely not necessary to do that. The previous case shows that it is possible that a new line can be added on the same page and that only the end of the footnote can be shifted to the next page. This would preserve the design of the page and this should be the way how Writer should work in this situation. Of course you can say: Disable widow/orphan control. But then I have a single line or worse, a single word at the start of my next page. To avoid that I need widow/orphan control. Why it should not work in this situation without the destruction of the design of the previous page? Sorry if the style of my language was a bit offensive in my reply of issue 86281. But the example was well prepared and is was obvious that Writer should not work as it does, wasn't it? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
