Description jfjb2005 2014-03-21 18:57:13 UTC
Created attachment 96183 [details]
3 pages simple document to show the 'situation'...

Problem description: the UP and DOWN arrows do not allow scrolling through the footnotes of a document, one at a time, within the footnote area.

Steps to reproduce:
1. create text + footnote 1.
2. repeat ad nauseam to n.
3. edit footnote x. No problem, no matter the length of the text.
4. use UP or DOWN arrow to view/edit footnote x+n or x-n... the cursor pointer does not move from initial footnote x to any other footnote text on the same OR any other page up or down the document.

Current behavior: cannot scroll with UP and DOWN arrows through various footnotes in the footnote area for either viewing or editing footnote contents.

Expected behavior: UP and DOW arrows allow(ed) scrolling through the document footnotes within the footnote area.

I cannot remember which previous LO version worked. 

All other footnote functionality works as expected.

Maybe I am missing something or I reset something, and the bug is between my keyboard and my chair.

Thanks for your help.

This misbehavior occurs also on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and LO 4.2.0.4.

As far as I can remember, the situation has been like this.
Footnotes are in a sort of section, and I'm not aware of any key stroke to go directly from one to another.

thanks for your report jfjb

Cursor movement with arrow keys was possible. The problem has been reported already in bug 75137.

Ahum - sorry jfjb and Regina.
I have seen a (sort of the) same problem in some earlier version, without paying notice to it. Thus had the impression that it was regular..
