Flow wrong with Footnotes

Another video example of the bug when moving an image and the footnote hugs the image instead of staying at the bottom of the page (and forces text to the next page).

If anything is a candidate for a bug fix in Publisher 2.4.0, it's that particular bug. 

I focus on complex professional illustrations, seeking efficient workflows, high-quality results, and contemporary usability and user interfaces.

Hi @philipt18,

Based on your last example and screen recording I can replicate the issue, which appears to be a bug...

The issue initially 'appears' to relate to both a situation where the length of the footnote encroaches on the text wrap setting for the image irrespective of whether the 'Distance from Text' value is 0pt or more and/or the proximity of the image to the footnote marker in the main text, though in practice these may turn out to be the same issue...

To test the theory, if you shorten the footnote text for both footnotes 6 and 8 so the length of the footnote sits to the left of the image including any Text Wrap, 'Distance from Text' value and then move your image, do the footnotes remain fixed to the bottom of the frame as per the screen recording or do they still jump as before...

Text Wrap - Distance from Text | Left Offest is 0pt

 

Text Wrap - Distance from Text | Left Offest is 50pt

Note how the footnotes jump up based on the length of the footnotes relative to the left edge of the image when the 'Distance from Text' is increased from 0pt to 50pt.

Here's another video showing the bug showing up by moving an image a single point up or down.

Hi @philipt18,

This initially seems to be triggered as soon as a footnote exceeds two lines on any one individual page but this then gets debunked if you add an additional footnote on the second page that also exceeds two lines, at least up to a point...
