Created attachment 182199 [details] footnotes confuse the columns. Removing footnotes fixes the layout. I have a document with alternating 1-column and 3-column sessions. When I add a footnote to the first 3-column part, a couple of problems occur: 1. The next 1-column session is pushed to the next page and cannot bring it back. 2. The footnote is also broken into columns rather than stretching over the whole page width 3. The multicolumn text uses only one long column instead of distributing between the columns. Here is the initial text before adding footnotes: TITLETITLETITLE 1 aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa TITLETITLETITLE 2 aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa ---- next page -------- TITLETITLETITLE 3 aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa After adding footnotes: TITLETITLETITLE 1 aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa1 a aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaa2 aaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa ^ | | (big gap here) | | v 1:............ ............... 2:.............. ................. ---- next page -------- TITLETITLETITLE 2 aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa TITLETITLETITLE 3 aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa And here is what I expected: TITLETITLETITLE 1 aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa1 a aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaa2 aaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa TITLETITLETITLE 2 aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa 1:........................... 2:............................... ---- next page -------- TITLETITLETITLE 3 aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa Note: this bug is the extension of Bug #98287 describing more aspects of the bug and shows an easier-to-understand illustration in the attachment.
Thank you for reporting the bug. I can reproduce it with your document, but not in a new document. Steps: 1. Open attachment 182199 [details] 2. Insert a new section with three columns and insert some text in first column 3. Insert footnote in first column Actual result: Section expands to the bottom of the text and footnote is added to column Expected result: Section doesn't change height and footnote is at normal position. This is also the actual result with steps 2 and 3 in a new document. Additional information Doesn't happen if section has only one column.
