Description Claudi 2018-06-29 17:11:46 UTC
I have noticed that cross references to footnotes are not updated when I insert a new footnote with a lower number. Let me explain this scenario. 

I start with a document with three lines:

    This is the first line
    This is the second line
    This is the third line

Then I do these steps:

 1. Insert a footnote on the second line, with text "Footnote A"
 2. Insert a cross-reference to that footnote on the third line and format the number as superscript.

After this, I have the following text (NOTE: I use the caret ^ to depict a superscript)

    This is the first line 
    This is the second line ^1
    This is the third line ^1

And at the bottom of the page, I have this footnote:

    1 Footnote A

Good, so far. Now I want to put a footnote on the first line, with text "Footnote B". Then, I get:

    This is the first line ^1
    This is the second line ^2
    This is the third line ^1

As you can see, the third line's cross reference is not updated. At the bottom of the page I have the expected footnotes:

    1 Footnote B
    2 Footnote A

The footnote references should be updated whenever the footnotes change. I confirm this unexpected behaviour even after Tools>Update>Update All.

@Claudi, Could you please add the document up to this point and it makes it easier for triage?
