Description: Uneven distribution of footnotes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attached file 2. Page 2 has no footnotes at all; 3. Format -> Page -> Footnote 4. Set maximum footnote height to 13,4 (or something between 13-15) -> Quite even distribution Actual Results: The algorithm used for 'Not larger than page area" as particular preferences Expected Results: I would expect something like step 4..

Created attachment 152164 [details] example with footnote height of 14 cm I can't confirm it. Looks good with height of 14 cm.

I intended to demonstrate the flaw of the default/automatic setting 'Not larger than page area' algorithm. The automatic distribution of footnotes is far from optimal, IMHO. I would expect something similar to a manual setting (with a footnote height of 13-15 cm). So indeed, it looks good with height of 14 cm, but the distribution of footnotes with 'Not larger than page area' is slightly dubious (in cases with tables around)

Help says: "Not larger than page area: Automatically adjusts the height of the footnote area depending on the number of footnotes." Expected result: Distribution should bea at least as good as with manual setting Do you agree, Telesto
