And step 4 is probably worse than what is schematically described. Can it be mitigated? I wanted to experiment to make a comparison between numerous huge notes overflowing available page space and isolated note (at bottom of page). Unfortunately I stumbled on another bug: it looks like the presence of footnotes disables systematically widow/orphan processing on the last paragraph, no matter if it has notes or not, provided the note anchor is in this page (relevant in case notes overflow to next page). Is this part of the same bug, i.e. perturbation of widow/orphan on last narrative paragraph? I can provide an example file, but should I report a different bug? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
