Description marius_van_rensburg 2026-01-30 03:09:32 UTC 
Description:
When one enters a new Footnote on the last (I don't know say) 5 lines on a page, let's say Footnote Number 5 then it throws Footnote Number 5 onto the next page with the correct Number 5. Pleeeease make it stay on the page where it was entered. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a Footnote on one of the last lines on a page.


Actual Results:
It shows up on the next page with the correct number let's say 5. With 1, 2 etc for that page appearing underneath it.

Expected Results:
Would love it if a footnote appears on the page where it was entered.


Reproducible: Always
