Description: Having set the maximum footnote height to the maximum allowed value and then enabling headers at maximum allowed height causes the footnotes to not be shown and span several pages. This can also update the maximum footnote height to a negative value if margins are disabled for the page. Steps to Reproduce: The below uses centimeters as the measurement units, but the issue reproduces with other measurement units as well. 1. Open new document 2. Right click the page and select Page... 3. Select the Footnote tab, 4. Enable the Maximum footnote height and set it to 20.36cm 5. Press OK to apply the change and close the dialog 6. Enter some text in the document, highlight it, and select Insert > Footnote and Endnote > Footnote 7. Add text to the footnote so that it spans to the next page. 8. Right click on the document and select Page... 9. Select the Header tab and tick "Header on" 10. Enter the value 20.06 in the Height field and deselect it to note that the value is accepted. 11. Click OK to apply the header height change Actual Results: The footnote is no longer visible on any of the pages. The two page document has still changed into 56 page document. If the margins are now reduced to 1cm and header height increased again to 23.26, the maximum footnote height is translated to -19.21cm. Expected Results: Header height cannot be set to a value that conflicts with other already configured values. Footnote is displayed unless it has no content. Footnote height can never be a negative value. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Version: 6.2.4.2 (x64) Build ID: 2412653d852ce75f65fbfa83fb7e7b669a126d64 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: CL
I confirm it with Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: b170256fb6ebaf774b02b89835b19d9f3a1afb89 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2019-06-07_03:30:35 Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
Don't see need for input from UX. The maximum value has to depend not only on page properties but also the value of header or footer, respectively.
From my point of view if a page consist from header + body + footer, than if I edit header the maximum height available is: page size minus footer size minus 1-2 cm for body (minimum).
Retested with Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 949658028e722e5d2657b503eb20e16e41dbd8cf CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL 1.

Add text to the footnote Result: Document has three pages 8. Right click on the document and select Page... 9. Select the Header tab and tick "Header on" 10. Enter the value 20.06 in the Height field and deselect it to note that the value is accepted. 11. Click OK to apply the header height change Result: Document has still three pages and footnote is visible So little improvement, but conflict between height of header and footer ist still there
Dear Ormes Liivak, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
