Description: In the dialog box Tools | Footnotes and Endnotes | Footnotes, the labels "counting" and "start at" are reversed. See the help for "Footnote Settings" -- https://help.libreoffice.org/7.5/en- US/text/swriter/01/06080100.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=modules/swriter/ui/footnotepage/FootnotePage#bm_id3154656 -- which says: Counting Select the numbering option for the footnotes. Option Per page Per chapter Per document Start at Enter the number for the first footnote in the document. This option is only available if you selected "Per Document" in the Counting box. But in the actual UI, "counting" is a number and "start at" is a dropdown selection list with per page/per chapter/per document. Also, in the Endnotes tab, "Start at" requires a number, and there is no option for "Counting." (This may be a separate bug/enhancement request, but it is very weird and confusing to separate two options related by dependency -- start at and counting, the latter of which is dependent on the former, by two unrelated options -- before and after -- and to put the dependent option, start at, *before* the option on which it is dependent, counting.) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to Tools | Footnotes and Endnotes. 2. Click the Footnotes tab. 3. See that "counting" requires a number and "start at" is a dropdown listbox. 4. Click on the Endnotes tab. See that "start at" is where "counting" is in the Footnotes tab. Actual Results: The two labels are reversed. Expected Results: The labels should be properly assigned.
