Description: When I purged 5.3 and installed 5.4 (Linux), then opened an existing large document that previously had more than a hundred footnotes, the footnote description/explanation lines existed, but the reference numbers that should have been in the body of the document were missing entirely. Of course, one of the results is that clicking on the footnote number in the footnote description, information line (see example below) takes you nowhere instead of taking you to the corresponding superscript number in the body of the document because the superscript number no longer exists. Example Footnote Line: 105 Mr. Craigmile. N. A. C. S., Seventh Annual Proceedings, 1919, p. 614. (This is footnote No. 105. There is no longer a corresponding, linked 105 in the body of the document). This is a complete and utter disaster for me, as I use LO for writing and editing manuscripts, many of which have more than one hundred footnotes each, not to mention that these manuscripts drafted in LO are converted to ePub and other formats for sale by download, something that has now been rendered impossible for me to do without many weeks or months of fixing every file that was drafted using LO. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a document created in an earlier version of LO with LO 5.4.3 2. 3. Actual Results: All the footnote "explanation / descriptive" lines in the document were there, but they were no longer linked to their corresponding numbers in the document; in fact the corresponding numbers no longer exist. Expected Results: Expected both the footnote and its corresponding "reference" number in the body of the text to be intact.
