In the insert toolbar, there are buttons for inserting a footnote (.uno:InsertFootnote) and endnote (.uno:InsertEndnote). The insert footnote tooltip is 'Insert Footnote/Endnote Directly' and the insert endnote tooltip is 'Insert Endnote Directly'.
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated yesterday, I could reproduce this. It seems inherited from OOo ux-advise: The fix is obvious since it's there http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/WriterCommands.xcu#564 but could there be an explanation? Indeed it's very strange it has been like this since all this time.
I maybe mistaken but this should be set to NEW, as NEEDINFO is a status when more information is needed from the bug reporter. :)
You're right Jay, I'll put it at NEW.
I don’t think there is a logical explanation. Go ahead and JFDI ;)
