Footnote bug in Open Office?

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing an issue with Open Office Writer when I add a footnote: once the note is added, I paste, in my case, a web address - I imagine the problem also occurs with text - and everything seems to work fine at first... But when I close the document and reopen it, my note is completely misaligned, with an extra line space, without me having touched anything.

How please can I resolve this issue?

Here are two screenshots illustrating this:

Thank you,

Olivier

    Hello,

    Not well received during my first attempt.

    Your document is a .doc file opened with OpenOffice Writer.

    Please save it in .odt format and try again.

    MBP + macOS Ventura
    OpenOffice, LibreOffice

    Hello,

    Clear the user profile:

    Procedure proposed by yclik:

    - Exit OpenOffice
    - Press the Windows key (the little flag) while holding down the R key
    - Enter %appdata%
    - Look for the OpenOffice folder and rename it to OldOpenOffice
    - Restart OpenOffice

    MBP + macOS Ventura
    OpenOffice, LibreOffice

    The solution to rename the OpenOffice folder in appdata does not work.

    I don't know what to modify in the "Footnote settings" (F11/Styles and Formatting). What is the procedure? Thank you very much for the help!
