Description laszlokaroly 2004-05-29 22:45:53 UTC

There is a strange limitation of footnote area. It cannot occupy the entire type
area only the 80% of it.
In the page style setting window I can choose 'Not larger than page area' (type
area would be more correct) which means - for me - that:
footnote area < type area, but actually it is only < type area * 0.80.
Check, for instance, sw/source/ui/misc/pgfnote.cxx:
lMaxHeight *= 8;
lMaxHeight /= 10; and the like...

Is there any practical reason to do this limitation or is it possible to make an
improvement?

Thanks, Laci

P.S.: I think this issue affects every version of OOo on every system.

Yes I too am having this problem. In some cases where the footnote is made up 
of many paragraphs and the footnote reference number is near the bottom of the 
page, much of the footnote text gets shifted onto the next page.

Hi, I still have the same problem with 2.4.1rc1. I will test 3beta soon.

3beta also does not work as expected.
