Description:
Version: 7.4.7.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 723314e595e8007d3cf785c16538505a1c878ca5

Footnotes disappear whenever I use Modifications Tracking inside a DOC or DOCX document. It works normally on a ODT document.

Les notes de bas de page disparaissent chaque fois que j'utilise le suivi des modifications dans un document DOC ou DOCX. Cela fonctionne normalement sur un document ODT.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Le spécisme est la discrimination basée sur l’espèce. Principalement, il s’agit de l’exploitation des animaux par les humains.
2.Cette pratique de l’élimination des poussins mâles par broyage est illégale au Québec depuis seulement le 1er janvier 2023.
3.

Actual Results:
1.
2.

Expected Results:
1.Le spécisme est la discrimination basée sur l’espèce. Principalement, il s’agit de l’exploitation des animaux par les humains.
2.Cette pratique de l’élimination des poussins mâles par broyage est illégale au Québec depuis seulement le 1er janvier 2023.

Bonjour Camille

Please test the latest version, 7.5.5 preferably (at the bottom of the page if not yet released): https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/

Many changes regarding footnotes / endnotes happened in 7.5.

Let us know if you can still reproduced the issue in that version.
Thank you!

This new version is not downloadable on your web site. Only 7.5.4. So I changed for this one.

Unfortunately, the problem is still there… and now LO is very slow to save files. :(
Comment 3 Camille Bouchard 2023-07-18 19:13:52 UTC
OK I got it. The version 7.5.5.2 just works fine. Great thanks guys for your concerns. 

(The only point is that version is really slow to open and save files.)
Comment 4 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-07-18 22:29:05 UTC
Thank you for testing 7.5.5 and reporting back, Camille. Glad the footnotes + tracked changes issue is now gone, closing as "works for me".

Regarding the performance issue, please feel free to open a new report, preferably with an example file attached so we can test it and compare different version.

Much appreciated!
