            Bug ID: 130224
           Summary: Spellcheck eats footnotes in Writer.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: tehanulilac at gmail.com

Description:
Checking the spelling causes a footnote number appended in that sentence to
become an actual string of digits, while the footnote proper disappears. I
think it only happens if  there is actually some "error" to correct or ignore
(an unrecognized proper name, a rare word or a real spelling mistake), not when
the whole spellcheck goes smoothly. As many as one fourth of all footnotes are
eaten this way. Only seen this in text set to English (UK), but I have no idea
if that matters. It may be a worse problem in MS Word formats.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a longish .doc, .docx or .odt with a truckload of footnotes and the
language parameter set. I actually arrive at those by translating from another
language and apply the language setting arbitrarily before or during the
process.
2.Have terms in the text the spellchecker won't recognize.
3.Run a thorough spellcheck.

Actual Results:
Footnotes are probably missing. 150 out of 600 is not unusual. All the places
where a footnote disappeared now have a number inserted.

Expected Results:
The same footnotes in the same places and with the same numbers as before the
spellcheck. Please.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I think it's recent-ish. In that the previous version may have done that too,
but a year or two years ago the problem didn't exist.
