In a Write document, if a word is followed by a footnote anchor, the method
gotoEndofWord() returns FALSE. Related to this, if the cursor is placed at the
end of that word, the method isEndofWord() also returns FALSE.

To reproduce this, create a Write document with some words. At the end of one
word, insert a footnote. Then place your cursor within that word.

Use the following macro:

Sub Main
  oDoc = thiscomponent
  oVCursor = oDoc.getCurrentController().getViewCursor()
  oText = oVCursor.getText()
  mySelection = oText.createTextCursorByRange (oVCursor.getstart())
  msgbox "isEndOfWord= " + mySelection.isEndofword()
  msgbox "gotoEndofWord= " + mySelection.gotoEndOfWord(TRUE)
End Sub

Upon execution, the second message shows that gotoEndOfWord returns FALSE (using
gotoEndOfWord(FALSE) does the same).
If now you put the cursor at the end of that word, just before the footnote
anchor, executing the macro shows both methods return FALSE.
(Putting the cursor after the footnote anchor also gives isEndofWord=FALSE)

The same tests executed on words not followed by footnote anchors give the
expected appropriate behavior.

(If the footnote is within a word -- who would do that!? -- the method is
working; in fact, it works if a period, letter or number is inserted after the
footnote. But doesn't work if a comma or semi-colon is after the footnote. I had
these details in the hope it could help pinpoint the problem.)
