            Bug ID: 136554
           Summary: Character Style: "Position" properties don't work if
                    overwriting footnote/endnote anchors

Writer file to illustrate an issue with note anchors

Version: 7.0.0.3 (x64)
Build ID: 8061b3e9204bef6b321a21033174034a5e2ea88e
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

This issue goes back to LO6 (and beyond perhaps). AFAIR, it was not an issue in
OpenOffice a few years ago, so may be a regression.

1. Open the attached Writer file and select the first footnote anchor on the
page (for example).
2. In Character styles, double-click the style marked "Footnote Anchor - New".

EXPECTED RESULT: The size of the anchor should now be 100% and at normal
position (because this is the setting in "Character Style > Position >
Position").

ACTUAL RESULT: The size and position of the anchor remain UNCHANGED (i.e. as
set in "Footnote Anchor").

3. Experiment by changing other properties of "Footnote Anchor - New" and see
how this affects the footnote anchor.

EXPECTED/ACTUAL RESULT: The footnote anchor changes in line with the new
properties—apart from "Position > Position". (not checked for all properties)

CONCLUSION: It seems that, for some reason, the "Character Style > Position >
Position" properties are disabled when overwriting an existing footnote/endnote
anchor.

(BTW, if you are using BOTH numbers and traditional characters (e.g. *, †, ‡,
§, |, ¶) as footnote anchors, you will need to have two different styles for
the anchors: so this issue is not just a technicality)
