            Bug ID: 129747
           Summary: Several footnotes in a multipage table causes massive
                    display and formatting problems
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.6.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: will.friedman at gmail.com

Description:
I work frequently with tables that have 2 rows and many columns (5-10) that
span many pages, the top row being a header that repeats on each page. I often
need to insert footnotes into the table, both in the header row and in the
second row. After inserting a few footnotes, I will inevitably experience
problems with the display of the table. In the attached document, which is a
sample of the kind of thing I work with daily, as soon as I inserted the third
footnote, the table suddenly jumped to the second page and instead of spanning
multiple pages, seems to think it's all on one page; the cursor will continue
to go down below the displayed text. These problems disappear as soon as I set
footnotes to display at the end of the document rather than on each page, but
this is no solution, since I need footnotes to display on the pages themselves.
This seems possibly related to
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125885 and
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120139. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached document; see that the table is displayed incorrectly.
2. Set footnotes to appear at the end of the document; see that the table
displays correctly.
3. To try it from scratch: open a new document.
4. Write some text.
5. Insert a table with 2 rows and 10 columns, header repeating on each page.
6. Insert enough dummy text in the table to make it span multiple pages.
7. Start inserting footnotes at random places. It should very quickly mess up
how the table is displayed.

Actual Results:
Table display is messed up; it moves to the second page, does not display all
the text nor split it onto the next page correctly.

Expected Results:
Table and footnotes should be displayed properly.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
