I'm very close to finishing the layout of the book I'm working on, but I can't finish it until AF-279 gets fixed, so the footnotes show up properly. Any chance this will get fixed this beta cycle? I haven't seen anyone from Serif mention this bug recently, but it's still there, and makes it impossible to publish a book with many footnotes. I'm holding out hope I won't have to scrap all the work I've done in Affinity Publisher and move it to another app to actually publish the book.

The developers are aware of this issue, but I do not have any information on progress, sorry @philipt18. I hope for your sake it comes quickly

I noticed almost all the recently fixed bugs have 4 digits in their bug numbers. Is this bug the oldest one still not fixed? I've just printed my first review copies of my book, but there are still several pages that cannot be laid out correctly, leaving lots of blank space on pages, and forcing me to add pages to make up for the text getting pushed. I would think a bug that forces layout to be incorrect would have a high priority. I really hope this gets fixed soon.

Hoping this gets fixed in the 2.5 beta cycle. My book is almost ready to print, but the layout is messed up all over the place due to this bug. What is especially annoying is that images need to be placed in the wrong places just to get text to flow to the bottom of the page. Not doing so pushes off the text to the next page, and really messes things up, but not being able to position images properly looks really bad. Besides messing up the book, it's messing with my OCD. I would greatly appreciate it if you could bump this with the developers @Patrick Connor.

Ah, I see "Footnotes become invisible if the last footnote on the page is shifted onward by flow control" listed in the 3027 bug fix list, but it doesn't say it's AF-279.

I can confirm that it also fixed the disappearing sidenotes in my case.
