Today I have noticed that footnote lines in my document (100 pages) are on some pages slim and or other pages bold. I reckon that this has nothing to do neither with even/odd page variation nor with number of footnotes. It goes like this: 2xB, 9xS, 3xB, 1xS, 1xB, 2xS, 2xB, 8xS, 2xB, 4xS, 1xB, 7xS, 1xB, 8xS, 1xB, 1xS, 1xB, 6xS, 1xB, 1xS, 1xB, 1xS, 4xB, 1xS, 2xB, 1xS, 1xB, 1xS, 1xB. The footnote lines have identical length but various thickness. I use Zotero footnotes only so there is no Libre Office note (Insert --> Footnote/Endnote). I have no experience in DTP and therefore I do not know if it the way it should be. I would prefer to have only one kind of footnote lines - either slim or bold.
Thank you for your help in advance and wish you all good health!

The first think you would likely need to do is upgrade to a current version of LibreOffice 7.1, though. You're on a very old version, and I wouldn't expect anyone to provide support for that.
