I tried to reproduce this bug but was unsuccessful. I will describe below what
I did so that in future attempts to reproduce this bug one could exercise other
untried conditions.
Configuration: Open Office Writer 4.1.1; Mac OS X 10.10 and 10.9; Microsoft
Word 2010 on a Windows 7 machine
I tried this sequence of steps:
1. Had some text in the document;
2. I entered a footnote;
3. Continued editing the doc;
4. Saved the text document;
5. Closed the app;
6. Reopened the text document.
Here are some variations of the above mentioned steps that I covered with my
tests:
• I used both new files and the ones provided as examples in attachments. For
the new files I had text entered manually and text copied from another source
(I thought that maybe metadata could cause the failure);
• I entered the footnote from the menu Insert>Footnote/Endnote; I also added
the Insert toolbar and used the Insert Footnote/Endnote button;
• I varied the length of the footnote and the settings affecting it;
• I entered the footnote by first placing the cursor at the end of the word and
by selecting the entire word with the space that precedes it;
• I saved with the Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc) as well as Microsoft Word
95 (.doc).
I can imagine such files being opened on a Windows machine with Microsoft Word
by the publisher, edited and sent back to you, you open and edit them with
Writer. I thought that this could cause the returns being added. So I performed
some more steps:
7. I sent the documents to a Windows machine;
8. I edited them with Microsoft Word;
9. I sent them back on Mac;
10. I opened the docs.
In all my tests the footnotes were correctly displayed.
Furthermore, I used Neooffice for comparison. My investigation was limited by
the fact that the free edition tool doesn't save changes in a text document. I
wanted to check if there is a corrupt data problem or a display one related to
the footnotes. I opened the documents attached and the footnote also are
incorrectly displayed. This could eliminate the possibility of a display
problem, but leaves the one of corrupted date still open.
Additional information that might help reproduce the bug:
1. Were the text documents created with a previous version of Writer?
2. How do you use Neooffice as a reference oracle?
3. What format do you save the file as? Are they edited in another word editor
and then maybe sent back to you?
