Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19169
Footnote Settings dialog initializes incorrectly, thus allowing setting of incorrect options
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:26:15 UTC
Open a new text document. On the menu, go to Tools | Footnotes..., and in the Footnote Settings dialog change the position to "End of document". The "Counting" field should now be "Per document". Click OK. The footnotes now work as they should - at the end of the document, with correct counting. Open again the Footnote Settings dialog. Notice that the dialog does not initialize itself properly - the "Counting" field now shows "Per page", although the document uses "Per document". Even the Help states that "Per page" is available only in "End of page" position. If you now click OK, this bug enables you to set "Per page" counting with "End of Document" position - something that should not be allowed. If you now try to create footnotes with these incorrect settings and use automatic numbering, the new footnotes will be assigned number 0.
jw: reassigend to os reproduced with OOo1.1RC3
.
OS: Doesn't look like a showstopper -> Target changed to 2.0
Prio changed to 4
Won't be possible to fix for OO 2.0. Target "OO later" now.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
