Hi Aidan,

unfortunately this is difficult to fix in a good way.
I do want to go back to footnotes, because I think there are many  
things that do not yet work satisfactorily.  And then I also hope to  
address the issue you raised.  For the time being, unfortunately, I do  
not have a solution for you.
