Description Roy Wall 2014-07-02 16:20:26 UTC
I created a footnote choosing the * character. I entered text for the footnote with a space preceding it. Once the document was  saved and re-opened, an unwanted line space and tab indent had been added in front of the footnote text. Sometimes I got multiple line spaces added.

I found that when saving the document in .odt format, I did not get this problem.

Hi Roy,

thanks for writing the issue here.
Is it possible for you to provide a sample document, just to be sure?

Best, Cor

Created attachment 102195 [details]
The Military Writings bit, vol 1.doc

I have created a smaller file (attached)  from the 3M+ file. There are, 
for example, footnotes on page 15 and 22. It appears that each time the 
file is saved and then re-opened, an addition line space is added in 
front of the footnote text.

We recommend that you store your attachment elsewhere and then paste the URL to this file on the attachment creation page in the appropriate text field. Alternately, if your attachment is an image, you could convert it to a compressible format like JPG or PNG and try again.

The problem of extra new lines being inserted can be reproduced in 4.3.4.1, but it is fixed in 4.5 alpha (4.4 beta can't be installed in parallel to 4.5, so can't test on it).
Closing as WFM.
