I was aware of the bug before trying to upgrade to 3.4 because it is written in plain text on the 
release notes of 3.4.2.  Since I am writing a thesis with a lot of footnotes, I didn't had the 
choice to return back to 3.3 until the issue is properly resolved.  I think that it is 
unprofessionnal to leave a bug in a software that is supposed to be a direct competitor of ms 
office.

Also, users may not understand the bug is caused by footnotes. Any document
with more than one footnote or endnote in a paragraph will crash every time,
from what I understand. But to diagnose the bug, you have to Google and
Nabble and Bug search on "recovery" or "lock file" because you have no idea
it is the footnotes causing the crash. In fact, if you only have one
document open, it does not even seem like a crash. The only evidence of the
crash is that you do not return to the Libre Office main screen, but that
would be normal in MS Word, for example. You are left with a lock file, and
on restart you have a confusing choice about Recovery - it may actually be
best NOT to do the recovery, assuming you saved your file before the crash.

So how could people complain about this bug, if they do not know it is
caused by footnotes? I was a very diligent bug hunter, so I found it.
