.odt file showing the behaviour

After footnote #99, 

    • there is no automatic space anymore between the number of the respective footnote and the text behind the footnote, and
      
    • the first line of the text in the footnote does not start at the same position as the second line of the text in the footnote

> Jens, please adjust the indent of the footnote style.

Dieter, thanks for the hint. I checked possible settings in LO which could resolve the behaviour described in this bug issue, but I forgot to check the LO help system, I am sorry. 

The footnote style settings on the "Indents & Spacing" tab have the following pre-defined values:

"Indent - Before text" is set to 0,60 cm by default
"Indent - First line" is set to -0,60 cm by default.

I resolved the behaviour described in this bug issue by setting these parameters to 1,00 cm ("Indent - Before text") and -1,00 cm ("Indent - First line"). Now everything looks fine with regards to footnotes with numbers from 1 to 99 and > 99. The footnotes will look fine until I create footnotes with numbers > 999, but this is very unlikely.

I am suggesting to set these two values to 1,00 cm / -1,00 cm as the default values.
