RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Always starts in Recovery mode when footnotes, endnotes

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.
