<pre>I have noticed that cross references to footnotes are not updated when I insert
a new footnote with a lower number. Let me explain this scenario.
I start with a document with three lines:
This is the first line
This is the second line
This is the third line
Then I do these steps:
1. Insert a footnote on the second line, with text "Footnote A"
2. Insert a cross-reference to that footnote on the third line and format the
number as superscript.
After this, I have the following text (NOTE: I use the caret ^ to depict a
superscript)
This is the first line
This is the second line ^1
This is the third line ^1
And at the bottom of the page, I have this footnote:
1 Footnote A
Good, so far. Now I want to put a footnote on the first line, with text
"Footnote B". Then, I get:
This is the first line ^1
This is the second line ^2
This is the third line ^1
As you can see, the third line's cross reference is not updated. At the bottom
of the page I have the expected footnotes:
1 Footnote B
2 Footnote A
The footnote references should be updated whenever the footnotes change. I
confirm this unexpected behaviour even after Tools>Update>Update All.</pre>
