Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2017-06-25 13:28:23 UTC
Steps:
1. Open attachment 131189 [details] in Writer
2. Insert a footnote and notice that
   a. footnote text is set to 12pt as Footnote paragraph style is empty
   b. footnote number isnt superscript in Footnote Characters character style
   c. there is no space between footnote number and text
3. Open attachment 131189 [details] in Word
4. Insert a footnote and notice that
   a. footnote text is set to 10pt in Footnote Text paragraph style
   b. footnote number is superscript in Footnote Reference character style
   c. there is a space (U+20) between the footnote number and text

The issue is that 'footnote text' paragraph style and 'footnote reference' character styles arent defined in styles.xml.

fdo#53175: Don't load the default values of the styles in writerfilter
...or we may have some additional properties set on some styles.
Comment 3 Justin L 2017-08-25 02:37:23 UTC
proposed fix: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/41546

This doesn't fix (b) footnote number isn't superscript.  That is because it isn't superscript by default in LibreOffice itself.

LO doesnt default to use supserscript, but MSO does and that is what this bug is supposed accomplish, mimicking how it looks in MSO.

According to comment 6, this is not fixed.  "LO doesn't default to use supserscript, but MSO does and that is what this bug is supposed accomplish, mimicking how it looks in MSO."  I have already unassigned myself - it is still an open bug.
