Description: This seems to relate to bug 159162. I have a style which sets Footnote to be 0.50cm and -0.50cm (like with bullets). At some point these changed to 1.33 and -0.70. Normally, by double=clicking the style, this would be corrected. I that fails, selecting the text and doing Format/Clear Direct Formatting would do the trick. However, nothing happens. So I then have to use the Paragraph dialog to manually correct each one. Now I find that when I reopen the document later, some of the correction have reverted. Steps to Reproduce: 1. correct footnote to be same as style 2. 3. Actual Results: after document is reopened from some point, all the footnotes have been changed back to what appears to be inch dimensions (1.33cm and 0.70cm). Expected Results: Should 1. honour the apply style double-click 2. remove direct formatting when using the menu Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: TextDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Linux (All) OS is 64bit: yes also happens in 24.8.0.0
Created attachment 192883 [details] footnotes see from footnote 37 (page 16) also check the Toggle ordered list (F12) tool/ more numbering / position dialog I set this to 1cm or potions of 1cm (.5; .75, 1.5; etc.) LO then revers to inch-equivalents, so 1cm becomes 1.33cm; etc.
Elmar, I had a look at footnote 37. If you open style inspector in sidebar, you can see, that there is a paragraph direct formatting (List Style 123). If you remove that style (untoggle ordered list with F12) you get the expected result. same with the following footnotes. Don't know, what has happened. If you insert a new footnote, it works as expected. So NOTABUG
Thank you. I have since (now on v24 last week) not have any issues with footnotes. Excpet with older documents, which I can fix. So, as af as I am concerned it is resolved.
