Description illumilore 2012-04-10 18:55:11 UTC
Problem description: 
After I've added an endnote, I then cut the endnote, click in the caption frame for a picture, and hit paste, but the endnote never pastes to the caption for the picture. Insert>footnotes/endnotes are also grey while in caption.


Current behavior:it does not paste

Expected behavior:for it to paste

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.3.3  German UI/Locale [OOO330m19 (Build:301) tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit), within a frame it's impossible to add a footnote.

It's a very old bug inherited from OOo, see a.m. AOOo bug!

Simply create a writer document with a .png, add a caption with caption text "This is some Text". Or do your tests with attached sample.odt

That sample document lets you add footnotes, but not endnotes to any of the frames. Is there a way to get the reference into the picture citation frame that links to the final endnotes on the last page?

Comment 8 Jens Reimann 2015-04-02 10:28:09 UTC
This issue is still present in LibreOffice 4.4.1.

Tested on Windows:

* Installed fresh LibreOffice 4.4.1
* Create new text document
* Fill with lorem
* Create a new Frame
* Enter text into the frame
* Position cursor inside text in frame
* Open "Insert" Menu

* BANG: Footnote is disabled
Comment 9 Filipy 2016-03-08 14:19:57 UTC
The same issue still present in LibreOffice 5.0.5.2.

Tested on Arch Linux when tried to insert a footnote from an image caption.

Regards.

This is still greyed out in 6.4.2.2 
Perhaps abandoning the frame logic altogether when captioning an image would help?

The structure of my document requires me to use captions for photographs, but I also need to footnote the sources of the photographs. I've done hours of work until I encountered this problem.
