BUG?: Text appearing on top of footnotes

HI folks

Wondering if anyone else has encountered this strange pagination glitch, where text is rendered over footnotes? It's happened to me a few couple of times in a 300 page book I'm working on.

 

Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?

I'm currently on InDesign 17.3, and wary of updating until this project is complete.

 

Many thanks
Richard

I have seen that/had it happen... and for the life of me can't remember the why and the fix.

 

Check that the text frame on that page is truly at or over the botton page margin; I seem to recall that even a microscopic tick extra in length causes overlay problems like this.
