Confirming this bug for a document involving 133 footnotes, the final section of which (from fn. 127 onwards) needed to repeat fn. 127 as a cross-reference 4 times, and fns. 128-129 as cross-references once each. When attempted in the original document, the cross-references would appear as references to random footnotes, often about halfway through the document (e.g., a cross-ref. intended for fn. 127 would appear -- and link to -- fn. 66). When I copied that section out of the document and into a new document, set up the cross-references as necessary with only 13 footnotes, and then copied it back to the original document, it appears to have worked. This is clearly not a solution had I needed the cross-references to be to distant sections of the document. Created attachment 98293 [details]

Comment on attachment 98293 [details]
footnotes are zero-numbered
I'm working on a large .odt file with 248 pages, 71870 words, 499467 characters. If I try to add a corss reference to a footnote, the list shows many of them zero-numbered.

footnotes are no more zero-numbered clicking on the first
If I click on the first zero-numbered footnote, numbers change starting from 1 and links do work.
EDIT: I tried once again but it didn't work. Sorry. Footnotes numbers are still zero. Clicking on a cross reference goes to the wrong footnote. So, LibreOffice is unusable for me. Shall I remove all cross references to footnotes? I want to report similar bug for LO 4.2.4.2 debian paket In a document with 393197 characters, 49543 words, 119 pages 26 chapters and 198 footnotes the cross references to chapter of a footnote always contains ??. cross references to footnote number and footnote page, that didn't work in 4.2.3.3 seem to be fixed in 4.2.4.2. I've tried this on 4.1.6.2 and notice no issues with a footnote 88 on page 48 (Total 77 pages). Can you all please provide the earliest version this bug is seen? The version field says 4.2.2.1 while OP says "at least v. 4.1". According to Comment 6, "cross references to footnote number and footnote page, that didn't work in 4.2.3.3 seem to be fixed in 4.2.4.2." Can others confirm? Now I'm using LibreOffice 4.2.5.2. If I open an ".odt" document containing 608068 characters and 298 pages and immediately I try to add a cross-reference, footnotes numbers start always from 0, so the bug still remains. But if I try again after having done something, footnotes start from 1. It appears a random behaviour; don't know what unlock the program. Never CONFIRMED so UNCONFIRMED is the appropriate status. Please provide a sample document. You can anonymize with this: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Attachments#Confidential_Attachments Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the document. |
