            Bug ID: 142054
           Summary: Moving footnotes to end of documents messes up
                    numbering
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.1.6.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: bugzilla at sokolov.eu.org

Description:
When footnotes in an existing Writer document are moved to the end of the
document by changing the global Position setting, the numbering of the
footnotes is changed.

Even when the settings for Footnotes (and Endnotes) is for consecutive
numbering throughout the document, the numbering after moving them to the end
of the document is per chapter, resulting in numerous footnotes with the same
number on the same page.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create Writer document with several chapters and footnotes in various
chapters, where the footnotes are automatically numbered consecutively
throughout the document (not per page or per chapter). Save the document and
close it.
2. Reopen the saved Writer document and go to Tools, then Footnes and
Endnotes..., and change the "Position" option from "End of page" to "End of
document" in the Footnotes tab.

Actual Results:
All Footnotes are moved to the end of the document. However, their numbering is
no longer consecutive throughout the document. Instead, the numbering starts at
1 with each chapter.

Their is no apparent way to fix the wrong numbering, other than deleting all
footnotes and re-entering them as endnotes.

Expected Results:
All footnotes are moved to the end of the document. Their numbering remains
unchanged.


Reproducible: Always
