I have several documents with footnote, which are generally longer than a
sentence or two. Hence they are longer than two or three lines. When I want to
read footnote/endnotes, I normally hover the mouse over the footnote reference
number, rather than going to the end of the page.  When I do that, a popup box
appears with the footnote/endnote appearing in it, generally in several short
line. However, in OOo, this does not seem to work. It appears in one long line
which exceeds the width of my screen. See
http://www.warwick.ac.uk/~edrdh/images/OOo_footnote_problem.png for an image of
the problem. As I said, my footnotes/endnote are big. I would like to read them
without having to go the end of page/document back and fort for reading them.
25-35% of the width of screen size boxes with enough distances from the edges
would work great. (MSWord outcome for the same behaviour can be seen here:
http://www.warwick.ac.uk/~edrdh/images/Intended_outcome.png I hope you will sort
this out soon.
Thanks in advance.

Could be a good enhancement for displaying footnote content of a
footnote

Is this 'enhancement' going to be in next release or is there going to be a
solution for this 'problem' soon?

This still happens on 2.4.0~rc5 and affects Linux as well, not just
Windows.

This still is an issue in OOo 3.0 Beta. Any news on whether there is an
intention to fix this?

It has been quite a while since the first submission of the issue. I have
written afterwards that the problem still exists! Anyone interested in this 
issue? 

I think the problem is that the issue type is set to enhancement, when it was
actually a *defect*! The feature is already there: When you hover your mouse
over the footnote reference, footnote text appears but the display of the
footnote is defective! Maybe then will someone notice this problem!

ps. Since my first submission, I have changed location. As a result, the links
are not there anymore. When I have a chance, will submit new images.
