Text wrap does not move footnote rule in Publisher retail 2.4.2

[Petar Petrenko]

As you can see from the file attached, footnote rule stays behind the rectangle when text wrap is applied. If you start moving the rectangle slowly to the left, the rule will appear.

It appears that the rule is drawn from the left edge of the column and ignores text wrap.

There's no easy workaround because even if you lengthened the rule, it would still cover the space between the wrapped object and the text and that wouldn't look great. You could apply a paragraph decoration to this footnote but if your text reflows that could lead to having the note rule and the decoration.

Thanks, Mike. I don't need workarround. Just reporting a bug.

I don't know if this is a bug, it is certainly unexpected. If you have a situation like this you'll need to set the left offset for that note to the width of the rectangle.

Thanks for your report @Petar Petrenko & our apologies for the delayed response here!

I can confirm I've been able to replicate this issue and therefore have logged this with our development team now.

I hope this helps
