            Bug ID: 144717
           Summary: Issues related converting endnotes to footnotes
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Three issues related to converting endnotes to footnotes. And probably vise
versa.

Here we go:

1. Type "foo"
2. Insert an endnote "bar"
3. Return to "foo"

3. To convert "bar" to footnote, select its anchor (that is, lowercase i after
"foo"), open the context menu, select "Footnote or Endnote", and then select
"Footnote" under "Type".

3.1. And here we have the first issue. I expect that instead of using the
context menu, I can use the menu bar: Select lowercase i after "foo" > "Insert"
> "Footnote and Endnote" > "Footnote or Endnote" > Select "Footnote" under
"Type". But this will create a new (blank) footnote instead of converting "bar"
from endnote to footnote.

4. Create a table, type "aaa" in it, insert endnote "bbb" after it, select its
anchor, and open its context menu.

4.1. And here we have the second issue. There is no "Footnote or Endnote" item
in context menu, so you need to put "aaa" out of table, convert the endnote to
footnote, and then place "aaa" in table again.

5. And the third issue is that in one of my documents the solution from 4.1
doesn't work. When I put "aaa" out of table, select ii anchor after it, open
its context menu, select "Footnote or Endnote", and then select "Footnote"
under "Type", it selects the whole table (yeah, "aaa" it out of table of this
mome)

And now the 3rd issue, the worst.

Creat two tables with 3 columns and 2 rows each, seperated by the empty line.

Type "aaa" and insert endnote "foo" in the first cell of the 1st table.
Type "bbb" and insert endnote "bar" in the first cell of the 2nd table.

Now put "aaa" out of its table to change its endnote to footnote. Select the
anchor, open its context menu, select "Footnote or Endnote". And now the window
"Edit Footnote/Endnote" has opened and you can select "Footnote" under "Type".
Right? Not so far! As you probably see, Writer selected everything below the
first anchor. See the attached image. And if you select "Footnote", nothing
will happen. Converting won't work. You will need to put your "aaa" into
**another document** to fix this.
