I can tell you already now that I will really still want this even if all bugs are fixed. Why? When working on a text, sometimes I want to read only the main text, sometimes I want to read the footnotes too. Having this two options easily accessable is part of logical document processing IMO, since these are two fundamentally different levels of the document (footnotes should only contain information which is not necessary to understand the main text itself, but optional). However, my PhD has several thousand footnotes by now, which is not unusual for a human science document. I'm just too lazy to open and close them manually, and it also disturbs reading and concentration. Regards, Jürgen.
