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!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
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.
