Opening the attached file i see the broken numbering in 4.2.4 and 4.3 beta, but i cant produce the same result myself, so maybe you can send in an initial document where the numbering is correct, along with instructions on how to produce the problem. A screencast would also be great if you know how to do it.

This can be easy reproduced by following steps:

* Open new Document
* Insert 3 Paragraphs with footnotes
* Insert before those three paragraphs as many empty paragraphs until the last paragraph with footnote is placed on the next page
  -> numbering is broken for last paragraph with footnote


Sometimes this has not been worked, then i could reproduce this error by inserting more empty paragraphs until the last 2 paragraphs with footnotes are placed on the next page and then remove the empty paragraphs until only the last paragraph with footnote remains on the next page.

Hope this helps.

I tried and tried but still with no success. Would it be possible for you to produce a screencast.

Screen Cast of Problem

In the cast i show how to reproduce the wrong behaviour.

> In the cast i show how to reproduce the wrong behaviour.

Thanks for the screencast but after i attempted to reproduce the same thing as the 46 second clip, after saving and reopening the file, it still was fine. I tried it on 4.0.6 and 4.2.4.

Interesting.

I've could reproduce the behaviour on Win 7 and 
LO 4.2.4.2 
Build-ID: 63150712c6....
(this is the most recent version)

I've used 2 different computers with 2 Ubuntu 14.04 and Win7 and 3 different LO Versions.

Have you tried an clean OS (i.E. in a virtual machine).
Perhaps you have some very custom settings (if so i would like to know, to solve my problem ;-) )


Thanks Jay for taking the time.

My system is clean as i only use Libreoffice on it to test bug reports. If you could do a longer screencast with you creating the file and saving it and opening up again, i will try again to confirm it. There is a 3mb file size limit here and if the video goes above that size, maybe you can upload it to dropbox, google drive or onedrive and share the link here.

The original video file is can be downloaded her:

Sorry for the delay. I watched the video and when you reopened the file the number was fine. Am i missing something?

Sorry for my delay.

No you haven't missed something in my screencast.
By trying to simplyfy the problem, I interpreted correct behaviour of LO as faulty.

I gave it another try.
The linked screencast [1] shows, how I add some paragraphs with keep together and distribute them so, that removing a single paragaph results in most of them switch pages and the last one remains with wrong footnote numbering.
It is a little bit long, but i hope you get the idea.
I also linked the created documents [2], in case you want to check.

I tried following this, but I don't know, what you did in 01:52 when the first 6 paragraphs jump to the first page.
