On which LO version are you?
Last stable one is 6.3.5, could you give it a try?

You're right, I have tested it now on other comp (same version - last stable version) and no repro...
Comment 6 Roman Kuznetsov 2020-03-02 14:09:13 UTC
So let's close it as WFM
Comment 7 Julien Nabet 2020-03-02 14:30:35 UTC
It's not a WONTFIX but a WFM.

Hi, on my PC problem is, that the some lines above the footnotes are missing. On other PC the same lines are not missing, but are bolder then the other ones. I think this is a good start for fix the bug. Thank you and let me know, please.

I was able to reproduce this issue in LibreOffice Writer with the same steps, having my zoom factor from the program set at 100% and my custom scaling from my computer at 120%. I have attached a screen recording. 

I was not able to reproduce this issue in MS Word version 2004 (Build 12730.20270) and in OpenOffice 4.1.7 but from my research, this issue was happening in MS WORD 2003 and was reported on several forums and communities during some years. In Adobe Support Community was also present. 
From what I have read it has a great impact on users, especially on writers and novelists.

Here are my details:
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
This was my LibreOffice Writer version: 6.4.3.2 (x64)
Build ID: 747b5d0ebf89f41c860ec2a39efd7cb15b54f2d8
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0

I noticed, that footnotes problem dissapears when print or export document to pdf...
Comment 14 Julien Nabet 2020-05-31 18:47:51 UTC
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today + gtk3 rendering, I got a slightly different problem.
When launching Writer on a brand new file and beginning to add footnotes, one time I got a thick line, the second time I got normal line, then 3rd time thick line, 4th time a normal line, etc.

Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+

Dear David Liška,

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.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
