Description:
This bug was supposedly fixed back then per https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153804 but it's still there. I was working on a DOCX file I was sent by a client and after a few working sessions, I opened the document and all the footnotes are gone. Only the little superscript number remains at the bottom of the page. 

The document is 213 pages long. I'm tracking changes and I've been inserting comments liberally. 

I cannot share the document because it's confidential. Not sure how to generate a new one exhibiting this behaviour without considerable effort. But maybe the previous work on this bug could help devs find the issue?


Steps to Reproduce:
Not sure. I was working normally and everything went right for a few days, then suddenly all footnotes disappeared.

Actual Results:
Footnotes are missing.

Expected Results:
Footnotes should be preserved, obviously.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Hi NNN, thanks for the report.
Can you please test 7.6.0.2? The bug you mentioned is fixed only for that one, not yet for 7.6.0.1.
See the list of fixes here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Sanitizing_Files_Before_Submission
(or the "target" whiteboard value in the referenced bug)

The pre-release is available at the bottom of that page:
