I'm a Zoomtext and Jaws user. I created a document with a footnote and now the program crashes whenever the cursor is on the same line as the footnote in the main body of the document. I've tried upgrading to the latest stable release of LibriOffice 25.2, but this hasn't fixed the issue. Prior to that I was using LibreOffice 24.8. I've tried alternately disabling Jaws and Zoomtext, but this hasn't fixed the issue. I cannot test the bug with both disabled.
