3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer importing a Word
created file via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget -c
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/903608/+attachment/2630995/+files/footnoteformattingbug_1.doc
-O example.doc && lowriter -nologo example.doc

on page 1 if one clicks immediately after superscript footnote 1 and
begins to type, the characters are not superscript, as it would occur in
Word.

4) What happens instead is the characters are superscript as shown in
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/87353347/libreofficeformattingbug.ogv

WORKAROUND: Click immediately after the footnote and press Ctrl+Shift+P
then begin typing as desired. This is documented at:
http://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Making_Text_Superscript_or_Subscript

Severity Normal > Minor
quoting from http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport_Details#Severity
"minor loss of function, or other problem where easy workaround is present"

Importance High > Low
This really should not be high on the developer to do list as the WORKAROUND is trivial to perform and well documented.

Platform All All > x86 (IA32) Linux (All)
Only documented test cases up or downstream are Linux, IA32.
